Thanks. I have crazy glue. If I use epoxy, do you know what type and where to get? I wouldn't think crazy glue would have much control.

Don't know if it would work for the pattern of your stone but I made a repair to a rose colored marble with white and tan markings.

Long story but we had to create a ledge with salvaged marble. The best piece we could come up with had a small crack in just the surface and a small chunk missing from the bottom front edge. I used nail acrylic to fill them in.

The patches are translucent with a white cast. Made a nearly invisible patch of the shallow fissure. The translucent quality is more apparent where I filled in the chunk. Still, even though you could find them if I told you they were there, I doubt very much anyone would find them if they didn't already know about them.

There are probably more professional solutions. But I'm not sure who would want to deal with these tiny little flaws and I'm sure I'd pay to make them interested. Meanwhile, I paid $9 for the acrylic kit.

I've also got a chunk missing in my soapstone where I dropped a heavy baking dish on it from the cabinet above. I'm thinking of filling it in with some Fimo clay and heating it with my iron to "bake" it.

Hopefully, some of the granite experts will chime in, but personally, I'd think about getting a professional to come in and repair it - they'll know what to use and how to clean it up.

I have granite with a lot of mica. Examining the stone closely, I can see where the original fabricators filled areas with epoxy that blended in well with my 'Fleur de lis' granite. After three years of use, I filled about a dozen spots on my 8' x 4' island last week. I had crazy glue on hand and it worked quite well.

Start with a super clean stone. Dry well. I wiped with alcohol and let dry to make sure there were no wells of water in any divots to turn white when I put in the crazy glue. (Water and crazy glue does not mix and will turn 'white' if you put it in a wet area.)

I learned that it's best to have a new razor for each area that you work on because you will need to scrape the surface of the granite where the glue has dried. I waited a few minutes after filling a spot and leveled out the top with a razor blade, then let the little divots, maybe pea size, just harden well. Once dry thoroughly, scrape in one direction at about a 45 degree angle in short strokes to 'shave' off any extra glue that you may have over filled or spread on the granite. It worked great. I did not ruin my granite or scratch my stone. The extra glue on the granite not 'needed' to fill any divot will appear like a 'smear' or crusty area, so it's easy to identify where to scrape. It took me about 10 minutes on each area to scrape it level and smooth.

Thanks. I am going to try the crazy glue this weekend. Its not a big area to cover and there is enough variation in the stone that it will probably blend in well. I feel more confident now.
