I would ask your stone supplier about the sample. You can also take the sample in and have them rub a little sealer on it, so you'll know for sure that it's sealed.

I doubt they sealed the samples. I sealed my samples with 511 and no staining. Etching, yes, but no staining.

My Danby marble has been installed a year. Etching but no staining. I have the feeling that I could mush a little 'make shiny' stuff and get rid of the etching,but I don't care about the etching. yet. and maybe never.

Thanks - hearing your experience is great. They really are pretty!

Westsider - are you a NYC westsider? I am.

We have imperial. I have no worries on stains once it was sealed. I sealed it with meta cream. It etches. It etches very easily. It's marble. It is known. The plus is that it is honed. When I get an etch that I can't stand, 600 and 800 grit sand paper allows me to remove the etching.

Does anyone feel comfortable sharing the price per sq ft (usually includes install etc) they are getting for Danby marble? I went to a stoneyard today and fell in love with some slabs of honed Eureka (I think) Danby Marble but I am waiting for the price quotes to come back from the fabricator....

Hi, 5 yearslater. No, not nyc. Chicago west sider

Eureka Danby has been installed for a little over a year. Some small etches but no staining.

I have montclair, have it "permanently sealed" and have had no stains, just etches. It etches easily. My Montclair is honed and it has a rougher surface than say a carrerra or a calacatta, so you don't even notice the etches. I have only had it a month, but have had two large parties and no stains.
