My experience with this product: Mix filler up - drywall mud consistency. Overfill hole in travertine. Let stand. Let it set up - about 10 to 15 minutes Take old credit card or clean putty knife and remove excess filler. Wipe off with damp sponge for clean up.

I needed this thank you! I just put travertine coping in around my pool and the little holes everywhere are sharp and will cut someone or their swimsuit. I will definitely use this

My marble installer also a friend as I’m in the construction industry taught me with non sanded grout. Basically the same technique. The bag of grout lasted 20 years

My outdoor masonry Barbacue grill has a travertine table top...and I love the little honeycombs holes throughout. I love the rustic look. I just used a sealer, but no filler.

Thanks. Very Helpful. So do you seal it after it sets up or is it ready to polish or wax?

Yes. Seal 72 hours after the repair has been made.

I have a customer who has travertine in his back patio. The patio has a screen enclosed in front of lake so many wholes and the bad part is that it has green mildew for the weather. It is so sad that he had this problem. We pressure washing the whole back patio but seeing this video, I may suggest to fix those holes. It is a large area. Any Thoughts?

Christina Zaderenko Hi Christina. Your question is not stupid at all! The product isn’t suitable for grout replacement; you’ll need to purchase grout for the fix. Measure the width of your grout lines. If the width is 1/8 inch or less, purchase non-sanded grout for the repairs. If the grout line is greater than 1/8 inch, purchase sanded grout. Both sanded and non-sanded grouts are readily available at your home improvement stores.

I have a travertine farmer style sink that I would like to use your product on. It would be very difficult not to use my kitchen sink for 72 hours. Do you think it's feasible to do half at a time and shield it with plastic? Also would need to seal it afterwards right?

What sealer (not shiny, just a teeny bitty bit of sheen) do you recommend for travertine?
@mystonecare19105 жыл бұрын
Ner Bland Gloss on travertine is generally achieved by polishing, not by the use of a topical, film-forming sealer. While you can use a topical for gloss, topicals will add a new (and more difficult) set of periodic maintenance issues, i.e. periodic stripping and re-application. If you want to go that route, I recommend Lithofin Care Seal because it is easy to apply, non toxic, and can be removed without the use of high intensity strippers and mechanical equipment.

HELP - our travertine has formed "patches" of rough area. It has spread substantially over the last year. Some patches are over 1 foot square. Is this a product we would skim on that large of a rough area. Not necessarily deep holes just rough and discolored?

Would I be able to put it on before polishing, then let it cure, then polish with this product in place, so I end up with a consistent finish? Thank you!

so its dry (cured) after one hour? what about using this on a sealed travertine tile? Not enough info in this video. I just fixed cracks and holes using an epoxy and hardener and it came out great and dried within minutes, but I am interested in this product. can this product be used to fix cracks? and do you have to use sealer afterwards? thanks for any help.
@mystonecare19106 жыл бұрын
debbie schneider No. It is not a polyester resin; full cure is 72 hours. If you’ve had such good luck with poly resins, you should continue to use them. This product is for people who have larger amounts of repairs to make (10x faster than resins), or those who don’t want to be exposed to the toxic chemicals and fumes from polyester resin (“epoxy”) products.

I have a more or less pyramid shaped hole about 3" x 3" by 1/3 in deep. I have been told that this is too large of a hole to use Traverfill and that I need to use Tenax. Do you agree?
@mystonecare19107 жыл бұрын
Mark Sehnert You can use Traverfill, but you will have to do it two or three times because the fill will shrink in a hole that size. Tenax will shrink less.
@mystonecare19107 жыл бұрын
Traverfill will shrink in a hole this size. However, will adhere to itself, so once it shrinks, you can cap it with another application.
@MaruyaSAg5 жыл бұрын
Would this (the dried up filler in the hole) be like grout - i.e., would look dark when it gets wet and lightens up as it dries? Or would it be the same color whether dry or exposed to water?

Ner Bland It will appear darker when wet and will lighten as it dries. Once fully dried, it will be the exact same color as the dry powder in the canister.

m The fills should be sealed with a high quality impregnator (penetrating sealer) 72 hours after the repairs are made. That being said, water absorption of unsealed Traverfill is less than that of unsanded grout.

I don's see how this is easier than just troweling in matching non-sanded grout and then wiping with a tile sponge. MUCH faster and MORE effective, especially when you are working on a large area. This demonstration is a total joke
@ana-despinatudor43633 жыл бұрын
Those holes don't need "fixing". They are part of the natural characteristics of travertine. If you don't like the holes, don't buy travertine. This whole procedure lessens the value of the piece. Do you want to have a natural piece or a cheap stone that clearly shows lack of appreciation of its natural qualities?

That "travertine filler" is just non-sanded grout that's repackaged, renamed and over priced :)

Will big box store 8 dollar grout work the same to fill all the holes and just seal it after it drys properly?
@mystonecare19106 жыл бұрын
Hi Richard, Grout will work, but will not last nearly as long. Our product has both an adhesive and materials that are not found in standard grouts. If you’re going to use grout, remember these rules: For holes 1/8 inch and smaller, use non-sanded grout. For holes larger than 1/8 inch, use sanded grout. Non-sanded will not hold in holes larger than 1/8th inch. Also remember that sanded grout used to fill holes will ‘loose’ sand when cleaned or polished with a floor machine, scratching the stone as it rotates.
