Hello - We got about a quarter inch round chip in our Uba Tuba Granite
when a glass salt shaker fell from the top cabinet. Does anyone have
any suggestions or home remedies that the do it yourselfer could try
to fill the chip. I noticed there may be some professional granite
fill products, but they seem complicated. I'm not too worried about
an exact color match, just looking for something to fill the hole as
it is unfortunately in a very noticeable section of the counter. I
was thinking like clear silicon, but then thought that may not stick
to it or be good for a food prep area. What is generally done about
chips of this size, or is the answer simply leave it alone and live
with it.

Also, any recommendation on what brand or type of sealer to use on Uba
Tuba granite would be appreciated.

Kind regards to all that help or share their view.

Sorry for your loss...but that settles it for me. Our new countertops
will absolutely be stone-patterned Formica. With kids and clumsy
friends the real stone is just way too fragile. Never heard of anyone
waxing or sealing Formica either. And it won't be too $$ painful to
change either when the real granite fad is old stuff or we just want a
different color.
