Repair crack in tile using putty The crack is still faintly visible But standing up, the crack is nearly invisible unless you know where to look. |
Crack is almost invisible When standing up, the crack is nearly invisible unless you know where to look. This crack was harder to repair because tile was slightly lifted, so one side of crack was higher. |

Use Minwax Wood Putty Buy at Lowes... or online Minwax wood putty at Amazon Or use Color Putty Color putty at Amazon I have used both brands over the years. Slow dry. Gives plenty of time to mix and apply Buy lighter and darker colors Take small amount different colors. Use fingers to knead together. Use eye to mix colors. Mix a bit and then fill small section of hole or crack. Add more over top if color is wrong. Push putty into crack. Don't use same color for entire crack. Try to match color of tile... duh Wipe away excess with paper towel |
