Does anyone have any experience with cutting cultured stone? I am moving on to phase II of my project and that deals with cutting cultured stone. I was wondering if I should use my wet saw for this...and if the porcelain diamond edged blade is the way to go for this? Thanks.

D,
The wet saw would be great if it cuts deep enough. A diamond blade in a circular saw also works good, but it's alot dustier.

I would like to know, after it is completed, what should be used to protect it from staining. Something that makes it bead water. Sorta like Armor-All for kitchen and bath. Perhaps something recommended by the manufacturer?
We don't cut the CS with a saw , we cut it with a hammer we start on both ends and work the stone to the center then whack the piece with it a hammer . The saw cuts look to strait . most of the time you could find a piece that fits
We didn't have to cut too many, but the ones I did I cut with a masonary blade on a skill saw. Set it to cut about 2/3 of the thickness, and cut from the backside, then tap with a hammer and I had a nice rough edge on the exposed side. I tried several different ways to cut/break it but this was the only method that worked for me.
