read through a few posts I think you can use a type of resin. Has anyone any advice where this can be purchased- online? And advise using it please.... Thanks, Tim. |

That's either some very wimpy granite you have there, or some very tough cups and saucers. :-) The link below might help http://www.glasstechnics.co.uk/marble.html -- Regards, Mike Halmarack Drop the (EGG) to email me. |

And advise using it please.... How about a 2-part epoxy resin such as Araldite. You could add some crushed granite that looks similar, when you mix it. When it's set, file the excess off and polish with fine emery. Smear with cooking oil and you'll never tell the difference. You could experiment first by casting a small square of epoxy and see how it looks. |
