bluberi 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2007 actually black coloured tops will show dirt/dust/scratches more easily compared to light coloured tops.but your case seem unique. do you mean the whitish patch actually embedded itself into the surface? maybe the surface of your solid top is more porous that's why trapped dust/dirt from all the reno dust flying around, but then again....really strange to hear that u put things on top and the whitish patch appeared underneath..heheconpassvale,i koe black solid top will show dirt/dust/scratches more easily but having a faded/whitish patch appearing on the spot where we've put things like tissue box or rice container is ridiculous lor agree with compassvale that solid surface tops are not supposed to behave like thismaybe you want to ask you ID what brand was used and check the internet to see if it's a particular problem associated with this brandin between the top and bottom cabinet can hang mahthat's where i plan to hang the system alsoi also draw out the layout of the system liaoso so so adamant on getting itbut it's expensive so waiting for a big sale went down to my new place (again)saw the workers doing the final tiling works for the skirtingso happy now just need to get the contractor do the plastering for the door frame areas can go onto the final stages of rectificationafter that my renovation can start yippee i seriously tink there is some problem with my black solid top... will see how it goes aft the polishing next sat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
