Rebuilding Missing Chips
Note: Reattaching broken pieces rarely requires tinting unless some pieces are missing.
Remove protective film that forms over hardener. Dip out equal amounts of hardener and resin using individual dipping sticks.
Mix hardener and resin together thoroughly on a flat surface (e.g., paper plate). If needed, add in small amounts of EZ-Tint (sold separately) to mixed epoxy until desired color is achieved.
Fill chip. Try not to overfill.
On profiled edges/vertical repairs, tape down shaping strip (included with EZ-Tint purchase) over epoxy.
Allow 30 to 45 minutes for epoxy to dry.
Slowly peel back shaping strip.
Make sure epoxy is dry-to-touch and razor off dried excess. Epoxy will not stick to smooth surfaces.
Epoxy will cure to a glossy finish. For a matte/travertine-type finish, razor dried surface.

Repairing Horizontal or Vertical Cracks
Note: Epoxy may need to be forced into finer cracks using a plastic putty knife.
Remove protective film that forms over hardener. Dip out equal amounts of hardener and resin using individual dipping sticks.
Mix hardener and resin together thoroughly on a flat surface (e.g., paper plate).
Add in small amounts of EZ-Tint (sold separately) to mixed epoxy until desired color is achieved. Use a plastic putty knife for large cracks. Try not to overfill.
On vertical cracks (e.g., walls), tape down shaping strip (included with EZ-Tint purchase) over epoxy. Using shaping strip on flat/horizontal cracks is optional as epoxy will self-level.
Allow 30 to 45 minutes for epoxy to dry.
Slowly peel back shaping strip.
Make sure epoxy is dry-to-touch and razor off dried excess. Epoxy will not stick to smooth surfaces.
Epoxy will cure to a glossy finish. For a matte/travertine-type finish, razor dried surface.

Countertop Installation
Note: No joint line taping is needed as dried epoxy does not stick to smooth surfaces.
Remove protective film that forms over hardener.
Dip out equal amounts of hardener and resin using individual dipping sticks.
Mix hardener and resin together thoroughly on a flat surface (e.g., paper plate).
If needed, add in small amounts of EZ-Tint (sold separately) to mixed epoxy until desired color is achieved. If joint lines will be tight, tinting is not necessary.
Apply epoxy to one or both edge(s).
Clamp stone tightly for maximum bond strength.
Allow 30 to 45 minutes for epoxy to dry.
Make sure epoxy is dry-to-touch and razor off dried excess. Epoxy will not stick to smooth surfaces.
Epoxy will cure to a glossy finish. For a matte/travertine-type finish, razor dried surface.

Mixing and Tinting Instructions
(EZ-Tint Sold Separately)
-
STEP 1
Measure out and mix equal portions of hardener and resin.
Note: Tinting is optional. However, if epoxy will be visible, tinting is required, as tint masks any yellowing or other discoloration that may occur over time.
-
STEP 2
Slowly add in tint to mixed epoxy.
Note: If using white tint, use equal parts hardener, resin, and tint to prevent any future yellowing or discoloration. For darker colors, less tint is needed.
-
STEP 3
Add tint until desired color is reached.
Note: Black or white tint can be added to darken or lighten shade of epoxy. Small specks of tint can also be added in after epoxy is applied to repair to create multiple colors and striations that are often found in stone.
-
STEP 4
Razor away dried excess epoxy. Razoring cured surface will matte finish if desired. If glossy surface is desired, take care not to scrape surface with razor.
Note: EZ-Tint purchase includes two-inch by four-inch clear shaping strip. Using shaping strip is optional on flat surface repairs. On vertical surfaces, shaping strip helps to keep epoxy in place. On profiled edges like countertops, shaping strip shapes epoxy to exact profile. Use painter’s tape to tape shaping strip down and keep it in place. In approximately 20 minutes, lift one edge of shaping strip and ensure epoxy is dry-to-touch. Once epoxy has dried, shaping strip will not stick to it and peels away easily.
