Hi folks,
I had used Dyna Italian Marble on staircase and it has chipped off at 3 places and cracked 1.
Is there anyway to fix this rather than replacing ?
Laying people say, they can fix it using something called "Tenax"
Any experiences ?
Thanks

Re: Repairing cracks or chipped Italian Marble
Hi Rituraj
Italian marble by default comes with many hairline cracks ,they use tenax (kind of epoxy) to fill the gaps and polish it .Its a very common practice in Italian marble.Just make sure that they match the color to perfect .u can use 2 color mix to give a natural look.
Tenax can be used as filler but don't relay on it as gum to fix the edges of the stair since it may give away soon or later .
