Repair an unsightly nick in a marble tile surface using a repair kit for marble and granite that includes a clear, light-curing acrylic (LCA) gel, microfiber cloth, sandpaper, polish paste packet, microtip applicators, curing strips and LED curing light. The LCA gel allows the original or natural color of the marble or granite tile to show through the repair and becomes virtually invisible. A repair kit with LCA gel is sold in home improvement centers or flooring stores. It is sold in a ready-to-use syringe has a very small applicator tip that easily fits inside small nicks.

1

Clean the area around the chip. Squeeze a small drop of mild dish soap to one side of the chip. Dampen an area on the microfiber cloth included in the gel repair kit. Rub the dish soap over the area to clean. Dampen the opposite end of the cloth. Wipe over the area to remove the soap from the stone surface. Allow the marble to dry completely before continuing.

Sand the rough edges of the nick lightly to promote adhesion of the LCA gel.

3

Tape around the perimeter of the nick with masking tape. Place the tape 1/16 inch away from the edges of the nick. Press the masking tape down firmly to the marble tile.

4

Select and secure an applicator tip on the end of the LCA gel syringe.

5

Position the applicator tip in the center of the nick. Squeeze the LCA gel into the indentation and fill completely. Fill the nick until a small dome of LCA gel is visible.

6

Inspect the LCA gel and look for air bubbles. Pop any air bubbles with the tip of the applicator tip.

7

8

Turn on the LED blue curing light. Hold the light as close to the curing strip as possible without physically touching the strip. Move the light over the area slowly for two minutes.

9

Turn off the LED blue curing light. Remove the curing strip from the top of the LCA gel. Press down slightly on the gel to ensure it is set. The surface of the gel will be slightly tacky but will not move when pushed.

10

Sand the surface of the gel until it is smooth and flush with the tile surface. Use the sandpaper included in the repair kit.

11

Remove the masking tape. Wipe the area with a dry portion of the microfiber cloth to remove all sanding dust.

Cut a small corner off the polish paste packet included in the repair kit. Squeeze a drop of polish paste the size of the repair on top of the sanded and cleaned LCA gel.

Rub the polish paste over the LCA patch and the surrounding area of marble tile with a dry portion of the microfiber cloth. Continue to rub the polishing paste until the area attains the desired finish. Add more polishing paste if necessary.
