In accordance with the present invention, a method of polishing stone and an article for use in the method are presented in which the stone has at least one exposed surface, the method comprising the steps of: a) bringing into frictional contact an abrasive article to the exposed surface of the stone; and b) refining the exposed surface of the stone with the abrasive article, preferably in the presence of water, wherein the abrasive article comprises a plurality of abrasive particles adhered to a backing (preferably a flexible backing) by a binder (preferably a resilient binder), wherein the binder comprises a cured resin derived from a resin comprising unsaturated addition polymerizable units. The binder and abrasive particles (and plasticizer when used) form a resilient composite having a hardness no greater than 20 HK but at least 1 HK. Use of the articles and method of the invention efficiently increases the gloss of stone surfaces. |
