Clean and Cool with Wet Sponge

What happens here

Immediately after applying the flame finish to a section of the bluestone edge, take a wet sponge and wipe down the treated area. This step serves multiple purposes: it helps to cool the stone, removes any loose dust or small spalled particles, and can help to highlight the newly created texture. The sudden cooling from the wet sponge can also contribute to the final appearance of the flame-finished surface. Ensure the sponge is thoroughly wet to provide effective cooling and cleaning.
