How to repair a marble bathroom counter?
by
Donna Gillet
The corner of the counter broke off. I glued it back on with E 600 and it has held nicely. There is a slight gap which is noticeable. How can I fill that in? Marble dust with epoxy is an idea.I want it to blend in with the grey veins.

personally, that's exactly what I would do as a fix, but you also might try adding something (acrylic paint? - something else?) as it sets up to simulate the veining? you'd probably only have to do it crossing the join in a few areas to blend with the rest of the counter? probably use a very fine (and good quality) artist's brush. you could likely find one small and fine enough even at a store such as Michael's (and take a good clear closeup photo of the counter section with you to try to match-up the colours. they carry a ton of acrylics in 2oz bottles (I use them) - or blend your own with black/white and even silver?
I would suggest the white acrylic nail powder. Ive used it to repair+fill defects many times, in my case with superglue, yields a milky looking repair.
Superglue might be shinier— than epoxy glue not sure?
Ive done wobbly wooden chair legs- instant fix and thrift store broken items that sometimes need painting.
