WAY better than sanding. Even if you don't do a perfect job, use your knife to knock down the big chunks, then _lightly_ go over it with a slightly damp sponge to smooth the imperfections. Be careful about getting the sponge too wet as it will smear and cause streaks. I use the big sponges that you would normally use for tile grouting cleanup. Keep a bucket of clean water nearby and constantly rinse and wring out the sponge. Added benefit? No dust.Quote:

I think it looks like a 'Wilfred', but that's just me. :PQuote:

You really have to see it in person for the full effect. Photo's in this case do not do that work of art justice.
Speaking of art, I must admit that the first time I went to look at granite, I did not know what to expect. Where I work, there are several dozen granite shops within 5 miles and one day I went to lunch to get an idea of what to show the wife. I was so awed at the granite and marble, that lunch lasted over 3 hours...
