Epoxy Stone Repair - Granite Countertop - Artistic Epoxy Repair 

Just make sure you actually make a nice matching color with the correct tint si ot doesn't stay yellow like this dudes....

Air an oil painter I'm confident I can do this as well and very knowledgeable in the color spectrums

Hi maam..pwd ako mag ask..pwd ba simento lng gamitin para pagkabit ng granite sa kitchen?

If I may. . 1 this repair will crack again, it needs real epoxy 24hours minimum dry time. 2. What he used there it's not epoxy and it will change colour 3. The price depends a lot if the the counter top needs to be removed or not, polished, reinforcement, etc.. For this kind of job, me, in Europe I would charge 150 USD/H. If there are no complications this will take around 6 hours. After the job is done, needs to be impregnated again, degreased, cleaned. If the client agrees that has another cost I hope I was useful....

I have hairline cracks in porcelain floor tiles. I guess getting a pin to clean them up would help before trying to repair? Would just love to hide them. Do I use 2 part epoxy or something else?

Yes 100%

Good one. Got a chuckle. Thanks.

heat the area with excess epoxy, razor blade scrape, be gentle when u scrape of course, slicing from left to right helps

And then, how do you eliminate it from wherever you placed it after you have taken it out of the table?

Wondering the same thing 👀

Usually iron rectangle shape 'pipes' are first fixed to wall using screws and then the granite pieces are screwed to these iron brackets...

Not necessary for cracks. They already give a large gap from all the crushed up stone for glue which is more than strong enough In that amount. As for seams I recommend the biscuit cut technique to help with the bond.

@@Trudeau-is-Stalin the biscuit cut technique is for timber because the biscuit fits perfectly inside but not for stone ... there’s other techniques for stone

That’s because it’s not a biscuit technique ... it’s a locking mechanism technique that applies for stone not timber

I do agree, I'd definitely use clear epoxy or white. I didn't notice the color of earl's, but with the hairline fracture that remains and the color matching, I really can't see any yellow hue bleeding through. As for you biscuit deal. I'm a carpenter for 40 years, so familiar with that, but in stone, u say just cutting some horizontal cuts in the material and the epoxy fills those and will suffice? I was about to ask the other dude, what u use for biscuits? Chards of stone? Haha. I did appreciate the matting on the backside. Thin but gives strength while lifting to mount. Thanks guys.

@@peterford9369 you’re spot on. Although the ideas of the original comment aren’t bad, they’re overkill. The epoxy once hardened is stronger than the stone itself, there’s no need for any additional techniques to increase the support. However, you were spot on when you said to simply make a cut/grind into the sides of the broken area and have extra epoxy fill that up. As for mixing several different colours to get a perfect match on the pattern; if you want to be there for hours on end for a $150-$400 dollar repair, be my guest. The best way is to make a base colour (in this case white) and use “a technique” (secret techniques 😉) to add in the minor colours - the speckles on the stone. With some practice, you’ll learn which stones react this way or that way, and you’ll adapt to these reactions and know what is needed for x may not be needed for y, and which techniques are necessary for certain patterns in order to blend in as best as possible. There are certain patterns that no matter how good you are, the crack will never disappear entirely. I’m impressed by your guess!

I would assume it’s an antique cabinet top

It is a demonstration, isn't it :)?

Depends on how far off. Within 1/4 you're fine over that you're screwed unless you can find the core from drilling and epoxy it back in there, polish the surface. Looks like crap but hey no hole right

Would love to learn more about that. Can you provide links in reference to those products? Thank you.

@@CSIAbsoluteCleanChicago there’s a few things you can do to clean that up a lot better. Take your grinder horizontally and cut the inside pieces of the top to the bottom and bore it out so more glue fits in, and where the seam touches gets tighter because the middle of your seam is grinded out. Once you have your color matched to what makes you happy apply and let dry. When my pieces break they have to be completely hidden and un-feelable or my shop/customers reject it. Do you have an Instagram? I can send you my work.

@@codyxisbell hi, may I ask what's your Instagram? Interested on checking out your work

What is your instantgram xcodyxisbellx??

Flowing epoxy, try shimming underneath the crack if possible to open it up a bit more and let the flowing seep deeper into the stone.

Chisel it off

Hire a professional... plumbers can’t make deserts

Not enough hardener

@@Unknown-nf1sesure they can 😂

Bob says just see the tree

Your suppose to use clamps ... to bring it as tight as possible to close the crack to the point that it’s as invisible as it can be

@@Unknown-nf1se That's what I thought. But not so tight as to squeeze all the epoxy out. There's an in-between spot as with any "gluing."

That’s not a problem if you interlock the stone from underneath first so that it has the strength under and it’s tight on top where people can see

Don’t forget epoxy changes colour with the sun

@@Unknown-nf1se not if you use Transparent epoxy. Never once it changed colour over time, even when I used it outside for BBQ kitchens..

@@BOSANCERO-ARBIH I am in Australia the sun here is extreme so we have issues with the effects of UV LIGHT.... I take it you are based in the US??

@@Unknown-nf1se yes sir. Didn't know you're in Australia. Never mind brother heat there is extreme epoxy will change color in that heat.

@@BOSANCERO-ARBIH yes it does 🙂

i think you can read it in the video, "granquartz pro series" transparent knife grade it says.

You get it when you buy the tin of glue ... Part A Part B ( hardener)

There is always someone ….
