Is white marble resin and mesh backing always a defect?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">No. Resin and mesh may be used to fill natural features or stabilize a slab. Approval depends on the treatment, location, proposed cuts, exposed edges, support, bonding system, appearance, and project requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">2. Why must both faces of a white marble slab be photographed?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The front shows color, veins, fill, and finish. The back reveals mesh, resin spread, patches, labels, and conditions that can affect cutting or bonding but disappear after installation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">3. Can a mesh-backed marble slab be used for a vanity top?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Possibly, but the fabricator must assess the exact slab, sink opening, remaining strips, edge detail, support, and treatment. The installer also needs an accepted bonding and preparation method.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">4.
