THE STONE PRO’S FIELD GUIDE
Quick Tips, Reference Charts, and Troubleshooting for Stone and Tile Professionals
When you’re standing over a stained countertop or looking at a floor that won’t polish evenly, you need information you can find quickly.
The Stone Pro’s Field Guide puts 60 practical reference sheets within reach. Written by Frederick M. Hueston, a stone and tile consultant with more than 45 years of experience, this guide helps professionals investigate problems, compare options, and choose their next step.
Inside you’ll find stone and finish identification charts; cleaner selection and dilution tables; stain identification and poultice checklists; honing, polishing, and scratch troubleshooting; sealer selection, application, and residue guidance; installation, crack, and hollow-sound investigation checks; countertop inspection and repair planning; measurement conversions, slope formulas, and estimating tools; and reproducible inspection, testing, and job-completion forms.
Each sheet addresses one defined task, with concise tables, field checks, cautions, and practical tips. The 8½ × 11-inch format is designed for easy reference, and purchasers may copy individual sheets for use within their own businesses. Print and laminate the pages you use most, or keep a working set in the truck.
