Rag Quilt

Forty years ago, when I started my career with all edges polished marble is hand made. The work today is like is done entirely by machine, but there are cases where hand polishing would be a useful skill to know.

Traditionally, the edge polishing was considered a semi-independent professional specialty. These polishers rub all dropped from his day job hundreds of meters edges of marble and develop strange physical deformities, bulging muscles of the shoulders and thumbs that curve back and touch their own wrist are more frequent!

The process will start once the edges to be polished have been identified, large areas of marble slabs, such as commercial buildings along the shore would be established in large and filtering. The exposed edges polishing is necessary, even hundreds of meters, have been identified and marked.

One by one each slab would be supported vertically against a bank with the bank to be higher polishing. Just hand it would be a bucket, sponge and cloth fabric.

The work was carried out with varying degrees of boulders and carborrundum starting point is a thick layer of sandstone 60 or 80. This is the longest stage of labor on the edge of the marble would be deep enough Â’wheel marks “left by diamond saw blades for cutting. The stone is immersed in water and then rub evenly around the perimeter of the slab still maintaining a high pressure and constant. The roughness of the marble would also extend to create a small apartment called corner points.

Sometimes the marble had to be dried to check progress, this was achieved by RAG in the vortex of air over the work. It is still the best way of drying vast wetlands of the stone on the way!

Once all brands of wheels and other deep scratches were removed with the sand of the 60 would go the second stone of 120 grit this time, only one bit thinner than the previous stone. This stone will be used until all the scratches sand before had been completely eliminated and replaced by a new layer pinstripes.

Polished marble is actually the process of wear surface with thin stripes and thinner than the scratches are more visible to the naked eye!

This process continues through at least six different Grain abrasive grain up to 500 or 600. The last stone block used was made by fine polishing themselves to ultra-fine powder of carborundum and tail of marble and, curiously named snake!

At this stage, the marble surface is still not very smooth. It has a polished finish only very smooth. The last step is performed with a block of hard hat and a cocktail of fine dust, several, most commonly used in putty powder, pumice and oxalic acid. One or all of these would be used wet or dry, just for the final gloss.

The advantage most obvious hand polished, this process does not create clouds of dust as the work is done wet, which means that, unlike the polishing machine dry, there was little health risk to the polishers. The quality of the varnish finish was also superior to machine polishing, leaving a higher brightness, small ledges and a flat surface.

However, the process, polishing by hand is slow and laborious serious. Edge polishing machine is much faster, and within three or four years the appearance of edge grinding machines of the art of hand-polished marble had disappeared.
