    That tool is one of our favorites. Nothing gets seams tighter. Thanks Danny

    I have no alternative but to replace kitchen base cabinets and want to salvage the granite countertops. What is best way to remove granite tops that are seamed together so as not to break granite.

    Can you use some of the Silestone(ground up)in the epoxy to hide the seems in the counter tops?
