What is the name of the product???
ReplyDeleteWhat is the name of the product and where can you buy it? At least show a
ReplyDeletepicture of the bottle, ugh! :(
would this work on scratches on the bottom of the sink?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't think it would work on scratches. The product is intended for
ReplyDeletechips that you can fill in. A scratch, unless very deep, probably wouldn't
hold it.
May need to flush out the bowl and turn the water off to the toilet for a
ReplyDeletewhile. Dry it out with a rag or something and allow it to sit.
What about a chip in a toilet bowl? It is below the water line so allowing
ReplyDeletetime to dry isn't an option. Any way to fix it?
A bottle of it costs $20-$25
ReplyDeletei used some of that on a chip in my bath tub, what i want to know is how to
ReplyDeletemake it look like part of the tub, i can see the chip polish, now i need to
make it look as natural as possable... any good ideas?
Mike, I'm not sure if you will see this in time as I am on vacation and
ReplyDeleteduring a toilet repair I nicked the inside of the tub. I believe the tub is
from the fiberglass family of tubs. Will this product work well with a
fiberglass tub? I have read some negative feedback from the Homax White
Porcelain Chip fix. The common response is the product wears off quickly.
Will this work on a bath tub too? I have a small chip on mine.
ReplyDeletethe chip is by the drain so i fixed it, now i need to figure how to make it
ReplyDeleteblend into the bath so my room mate doesnt knotice it....
It will work on a bath tub also, but I wouldn't rely on it for a large
ReplyDeleterepair. If you have a chip on a flat surface you should be fine, but I
would be reluctant if the damage was on a curved surface, such as where the
side wall meets the floor of the tub.
To jesika1984: If you try it on a larger sized chip, I would use very thin
ReplyDeletelayers of the liquid. You will probably have to use many thin layers, and
then try to follow the contour of the surface. Make it level so it blends
in!
@prohandymanlv Thanks :D
ReplyDeleteThey sell bottles in a variety of colors including off-white (I think they
ReplyDeleterefer to the color as "bone").
You can buy these porcelain repair kits at most home centers. This
ReplyDeleteparticular one is called "Porc-a-fix" and can be purchased at Home Depot or
Lowes, although other hardware stores have similar products and come in a
variety of colors.
how much does it cost
ReplyDeletehow do you match the color. I have an off white tub.
ReplyDeleteTo TracyG531...I used a product called Porc-a-fix, but they will all work
ReplyDeletethe same. The Homax product that jesika talked about is fine too.
Blending it in is the most challenging part....its a matter of sanding with
ReplyDeletefine sandpaper (most kits include it in the package) until the area is
level with the surrounding area, then buff it to a shine to match the sink
or tub. It's best to use several thin layers rather than a thick coat.
I got something called Porcelain Chip Fix by HOMAX that I got at Lowes!
ReplyDeleteWould this be okay on a bigger chip the size of a nickel if not a bit
ReplyDeletelarger?
do not polish it and then add another, the o2 inhibition layer is gone...
ReplyDeleteif you add too much flow between the teeth, make the contour round again,
you produced a splint, should have added less on first layer, and remove
the excess with the plastic band
Oh my gosh your so right about the etch, I went to a dentist who didn't
ReplyDeleteexpress a little etch before he applied it to my tooth and it came out
wierd and got on my lip, when I told him all he did was wipe it off with a
2x2, no rinse. nothing, I told him it was burning, he did nothing and I
went home with a hole burnt into my lip. It was very painful and I never
went back to that dentist again. Yes it's only human to make mistakes but
he didn't even try to get that stuff off my lip.
