Tips for sanding travertine? I found some nice travertine that I would like to use for my shower walls and bathtub surrounds. However, when the travertine was in its boxes, the boxes got wet. Now the top tile of each box shows lines from the cardboard. I thought it was something I could just brush off, but it actually stained the tile! I used a sample piece to try sanding the lines off.
