Repair crack in tile 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.
Minwax color putty 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
