| Solution: |
| One reason solid surface counters are so popular is that nicks, scratches and stains can be removed easily.
|
| |
|
| 1.
Solid surface counters, are just that; a solid material all the way through, so you can buff away damage without changing the appearance.
|
| |
| 2.
Remove minor scratches, scorches or burns with a green kitchen scrubber and a light abrasive cleanser.
|
| |
| 3.
For a raised problem like this glue, try gently scraping away as much as you can with a plastic putty knife before buffing. |
| |
| 4.
If that doesn't work, you might have to grab a metal putty knife, but be very careful not to gouge the area. Once you've removed the damage, apply some cleanser to your scrubber and work in a circular pattern. Buff the entire area surrounding the original damage.
|
| |
| 6.
Make sure that you feather out the repair to blend into the surrounding area. |
| |
| 7.
If the damage doesn't seem to be affected by your scrubber, try a 400 grit wet dry sandpaper. Wet the area, and sand the damage.
|
| |
| 8.
Either of these steps should renew the surface and make it look just like the day it was installed! |
| |
| 9.
The repair might vary depending upon your solid surface. If you have any questions always check with a solid surface specialist. |
