Marblack Slate Blacking Home

When the Marblack has dried, buff it with a duster to check that the basic finish is even, and you have not missed any areas. Apply another thin coat as before if necessary.

Now apply two coats of good wax polish to the black areas. Avoid the inlays, because some black pigment is sure to come off the surface onto the rag and will spread. Avoid turning the rag, as this will limit the amount of pigment that comes back off.



Some Marblack is sure to lift off onto the rag when first polished 

Leave the wax polish to dry for as long as possible - overnight if convenient.
