Doesn soapstone scratch easily?
Soapstone is relatively soft and yes, it can be scratched if treated carelessly. But, any scratches the soapstone sustains can be easily removed by buffing with fine steel wool. One of the things that we really like about soapstone is that it is possible to repair almost any serious damage. A severe chip or gouge can be repaired with two-part epoxy mixed with soapstone dust and small pieces of stone. After this filler sets, it can be sanded down and blended with the surface so that it virtually disappears. This is something that you can’t do with hard stone or synthetic countertop materials.
