Rainer .more great work .
question for you.
we have just fixed 60 sq mts Jura blue or grey . The stone has a cloudy patchy beige look in background of stone .i have had this before but client is not happy.stone had twelve days to dry after being fixed with rapid set adhesive .
i have applied a Lithofin wexa wash/scrub which has cleaned some of cloudiness up.
do you get this often as well . I only see this with jura grey.to me it actually looks ok am I think it must be mineral content in stone.i know that this stone oxidises and changes colour from blue/grey to brown tinge over time . I know you use this stone a lot.what is your take on this. [MENTION=31983]rainsco[/MENTION]

hi rossy, i always work direkt with clients. i´m not very suitable as a tiler for a architect.

jonny, i have wet spots on the jura on a bathroom. the spots are on the place where the wedi plates are in the under construktion. a kalk-cement render on the edge of the stone for example make this spots too. when i clean up the whole area with möller chemie http://www.amazon.de/Möller-Stone-HMK-Grundreiniger-säurefrei/dp/B009NWU7KE
the area dries better out and all dark spots are away (that was my luck)

there is a cruel method for removing dark spots.. by your own risk. take a finalit yellow spot remover (its for marmor).. the stone gets very bright but the survace is completly raw. its acid. you have to brush then the surface again.

tell you what though!!
when you get big format i am seriously worried about square .
you cant see from the marble laid up to my 2.50 mt straights edge how acccuate it is .
but to any experienced stone/marble fixer of large size pieces 0.5 to 1.00 mm +/_ is concerning .

I can imagine, I've experienced probs like that when doing large areas that go around and then meet up again 3 areas later. The guys who cut seem to think that a mm here or there don't matter. I'm sure like me u've been and explained in detail that near enough is not good enough! Haha

i see your PLS is being put to good use!
