First, sand down the high spots until the putty is level (be careful not to scratch the unbroken marble). Go down through the grits from #200 to #1000 until the putty is perfectly smooth. (It may be necessary to fill micro-holes in the crack with a second batch of putty or filler). Painting epoxy putty to match marble.

When the chlorine first dries on the brick pavers, it will have a powdery texture. If you notice it soon after it forms, you can sweep it off with a stiff bristle broom. Be sure you sweep away from the pool edge to avoid getting brick dust into the pool. If you cannot remove all the powdery efflorescence with the broom, contact the contractor ...

Microbial-induced-calcite-precipitation (MICP) is a bioprocess by which selected microorganisms can precipitate calcite through different pathways [5, 10, 13]. The addition of selected microorganisms into cementitious materials is considered cost-effective and eco-friendly method for micro-cracks repair.

Further analysis of Fig. 9, it showed that there was obvious cementing phenomenon between calcite particles, and calcite particles did not exist in isolation. Moreover, the growth of calcite was centered on sand particles, which tightly adsorbed on the surface of sand particles. With the deposition of calcite, the adjacent sand particles …

The survey revealed that the weathering mechanism is a chain reaction; the most important process is the pore opening between the grains caused by the dissolution of calcite cement in the initial stage of weathering. Subsequently, the pores between the grains connect and widen, separating the sand grains within the sandstone.
