Taking you through the process of cutting, honing, and installing marble yourself, so you can have marble or stone without the high cost of fabrication.

Thank heavens Mr. TIDBITS is willing and able to do this the DIY way so I can splash marble wherever my heart desires. It’s messy and heavy, but doable and easier than you might think.

1

CUTTING YOUR MARBLE

Leaning it against a wall with a piece of wood or sheetrock as a spacer against the wall works best. Always cut top-down and never horizontally as the marble will break.

2

With the water source and saw ready, start to cut along your lines, keeping a constant spray of water on the cutting edge of the blade.

3

Using a grinder, start with the lowest number pad and start to shape and smooth the surface of the marble.

4

Due to the relative softness of marble, a 50 grit won’t take long to grind down so don’t sit in one spot for very long. Use long even strokes to remove all high spots, sharp corners, and saw marks.

INSTALLING YOUR MARBLE

When it comes to installing your marble, you may need help to transport your slab – depending on the size.

6

To install the marble on the backsplash, we built wood support and just use a caulk gun and a tube of adhesive designed for tile or marble.
