Which chemical risk increases when hydrofluoric acid is used during the 'pietra dura' process?

💡 Explanation

The acid's 'acid etching' mechanism can weaken the structural integrity of the marble/stone during cleaning, because HF dissolves silicates. Therefore, the long-term structural stone is less robust, rather than other degradation issues of dyes/grout.
