Hello I have  all my seams fit and keyed. my questions are,  do I use the knife grade quick epoxy, Im not using a substrate, it is 1 1/4" thick with just a top radius and the bottom edge is just slightly rolled, not much to hide the substrate,
 reasonable sure my seams will be flush, I have taken extra care on leveling and adjusting the heights so they will.
  What would i need for grits if i have to do a little polishing/leveling of the seam, ceaser stone is 99%quartz and the balance is binder, I believe polyester

Tim,
Actually it is 93% quartz, 7% resin.
First use poly resin to do you r seams. You can color it to match the base color of the stone.
You can find them here:

If you aren't skilled at top polishing don't even attempt this or you will mess up the whole top. Ceasarstone has a textured finish on it and in order to top polish it and leave it looking right you need to :
A) top polish with the skill of a seasoned professional
& B) Use the Klone-it kit to get the texture back so it matches the rest of the top.

If you have questions let me know,
Mark
