Removing Cuts and Scratches:
Because the beauty of the surface goes all the way through the Solid
Surface, countertops are completely renewable. Use the following
instructions to remove minor cuts and scratches.
• Sand with 180 grit and then 320 grit sandpaper until the scratch is gone.
• Restore the finish using a Grey Scotchbrite pad. Never sand hard in one
small area. Feather out lightly to blend restoration.
Preventing Heat Damage:
The Solid Surface withstands heat better than ordinary surface materials;
however, hot pans and some heat-generating appliances, such as frying pans or
crockpots, can damage the surface. To prevent heat damage always use a hot
pad or a trivet with rubber feet to protect the surface. In most cases the surface
can be repaired if it is accidentally damaged.
Other Important Tips:
Avoid using strong chemicals on the Solid Surface such as paint removers
or oven cleaners. If these chemicals come in contact with the Solid Surface,
quickly wash with water. Avoid contact with nail polish or nail polish remover.
If contact is made, quickly wash with water.
NOTE: Do not cut directly on the solid surface. Always run
cold water into the Solid Surface sink when pouring boiling
water into the sink.
Water Spots:
Any glass will develop water spots if not cleaned properly. A spotting effect
is magnified when the glass has a reflective finish. Use a squeegee immediately
after washing to reduce water spotting. To remove stubborn water stains from
reflective glass we recommend Cerium Oxide Polishing Compound, made by
C.R. Lawrence, available at most glass shops.
Condensation:
Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will
vary with climate conditions, particularly in relative humidity. Condensation
occurs from water vapor present in the air. Each of us add more vapors by
breathing, bathing, cooking, etc. Water vapor collects wherever there is available
air space. When the temperature reaches the dew point the water vapor in the
air condenses and changes to liquid form.
