With that info, it seems like this is a natural micro-feature that's been filled with epoxy. Fabricators get creative every single day as they work to cut out/eliminate undesirable parts of slabs....

With the uneven reflections I seem to be seeing in the photos, I’d double check to see if the tiles are relatively flat....or relatively tilted every which way. If the light source producing the...

Welcome to the forum, Cher. :wave:

We’re a bit short on details to comment. So let me start by asking: Was this a ‘by the hour’ or a contracted price agreement?

Hi, Zachary.

Placing the top cap in the tapered “valley” of two tiles might tend to spread the tiles apart, so I’d probably be aware if that. There isn’t anything wrong with clips. They can be...

Hi, Ken.

Probably not a sound plan due to weak bond under the sheet goods....and if you suspect asbestos...sanding shouldn’t be considered. But before we go too far, can you tell me what “k5” is?...
