Natural stone is a unique and distinctive material, and it has many different characteristics that make it perfect for any project. From the varying textures to the stunning colors, each piece of natural stone is truly one-of-a-kind.
Choosing the Right Decor Paper to Use
If you’re using your stone for decorating purposes, you’ll want to be sure that the decor paper is the correct color and texture. For example, if you’re planning to use a stone for flooring, you’ll need to choose a paper that has a high gloss and is scratch-resistant.
When deciding on the right sandpaper, you’ll want to start with a coarser-grain paper, such as a 60 grit. Rub this sandpaper over the stone to sand out large scratches and create a smoother surface. Continue rubbing the stone with this sandpaper, keeping it wet and dipping it in your bucket of water periodically as you work.
Once you’ve sanded and shaped the stone to your liking, you’ll want to polish it to give it a polished luster. To do this, simply apply a polish like this onto a damp denim cloth and gently rub the stone. This will remove any sandpaper scratches and leave your stone looking bright and shiny. You can even use this same technique on multiple rocks if you have enough time.
