Review on πŸ”§ GraniTile 360~8oz. Epoxy: New, Ultra-strong Solution for Chipped Corners & Crack Repair on Difficult Surfaces - Tile, Marble, Porcelain & Ceramic by Russell Rabbach

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Successfully filling cracks in granite with your own hands will save you a lot of money!

After a long search on the internet, after 20 years of work, we decided on this GraniTile product to fill the cracks in our granite worktop. It worked way better than I expected! I got an offer of $1,500(!) from one handyman and $575 from another to fix two 20" vents in front of and behind the sink - and neither guy showed much enthusiasm for the job! Bought a $4 tube of Tints-All at our local hardware store in Burnt Humber and mixed it with this two-part epoxy (epoxy alone dries to white) to closely match our black/brown/orange granite - no worries. When asked how much tint to use, I was very cautious about adding the tint drop by drop the first time I tried it, but the tint ran out on the second batch. It didn't seem to matter, I just messed things up and everything was fine. I started with a crack in the back of the sink where the sink rim meets the granite backsplash because if I mess it up it will be less visible. It turned out to be a smart move as it was difficult to pour the epoxy into that crack and even more difficult to remove the excess with a razor blade so it doesn't look good. (In such a limited space, fill sets that come with hypodermic injections will probably work better). But the front crack, where I had room to work, turned out great. After the filler had dried for a day or more, I simply used a single-edged blade and trimmed off the excess. Filling the chip at the leading edge didn't work as well as the epoxy pulled out of the chip when I tried to cut it off. I will try again. PS I have a lot of GraniTile 360 left, I might consider hiring as "Granite Expert"!
