[@mowerdog]

Good luck to you. You can do it!

[@tamanminh2666]

Such a great video! Looks great. I wish you can come and fix mine.

Wow great job! I chipped mine by the sink area and am worried how much they’ll charge at move out.

[@mowerdog]

A pro shouldn't charge you more than $200 But you can do it yourself and save.

[@Ridgeback65]

Excellent repair and video. Thank you very much for the info. Next up on mowerdog channel, how and when to change the batteries in a smoke detector! lol

[@mowerdog]

That's way over my head!

[@Mzzipperme]

I change my batteries 🔋 once a year. The devices should be changed every 7 years.

[@q7jdwomfvkbj74]

can you use temporary a crack filler like crazy or super glue?

[@mowerdog]

Sure. I would use a UV cure kit. amzn.to/3BdP22Q

[@Eddie-In-Las-Vegas]

It's not just about gone! You can totally see the damaged spot and your home made band aid job just looks like hell. Never DYI your granite countertops and pay a professional for professional results.

[@mowerdog]

What makes a DIY Granite repair so technical? I think the great people that DIY are brave and talented. Lots of them performing engine repair, brake jobs, electrical, plumbing, electronic repairs etc.. These repairs are much more technical than a chip on a rock.

[@Eddie-In-Las-Vegas]

@mowerdog just giving you shit. Carry on mate!

[@sullyprudhomme]

well done

[@mowerdog]

Thanks David!

[@rafaelg4566]

I saved this video for 3 years because I thought it could be useful someday. Now I'm watching it again because I have corner chips on my black granite. Unfortunately, you didn't mention what is the name of the granite repair kit you used? May I know what it is?

[@rafaelg4566]

oh you did mention it - it's at the end of the video.

[@mowerdog]

Not sure it's made anymore? Any 2 part repair kit will work

[@hoppy760]

Great video! Do you have a repair kit you recommend for granite? Where can I purchase?

Change the battery in the fire alarm for that lady!

[@mowerdog]

Was there one beeping in the background?

[@Mzzipperme]

@@mowerdog yes

[@dchrysostom]

Great video/ he explains so well. Very nice patient man. Great job! 👍🏽 if only I can repair mine like this 😊

[@mowerdog]

Thanks you so much for the kind words!

[@wch4972]

is the machine glaze safe to use on a food-preparing counter ?

[@mowerdog]

I wouldn't think the granite itself would be commercial food grade safe. It has a lot of pores in it. I'm just not sure.

[@Ridgeback65]

Hi sir, can you please tell me how long you waited before taking the razor blade to the partially hardened material? Also, how long before it fully hardens / cures?

[@mowerdog]

It's different for different temperatures, humidity and how you mix the ratios. Just practice on some scrap and you'll find out quickly how long it will take you particular brand and mixing ratio to work. But I believe I sliced mine at about 5 minutes and it dried enough to sand in about 30 minutes.

[@bam8810]

How much do you charge to repair granite? Say if someone called and hast some pits in the surface and chips on the edge.

[@mowerdog]

$100 per hour. I could fix several chips in an hour.

[@pradeepg9755]

Can you mention the items name you have used

[@mowerdog]

They don't make it anymore. amzn.to/3Tz9a6A

[@Lucidawareness]

Thank you for the information very well demonstrated! Do you have any advice on how to advertise to apartment complexes with granite?

[@mowerdog]

Use Vistaprint.com and make up some nice color fliers and/or cards. Make sure the card specifies chip and crack repair. Mention that they save money by repairing. Mention volume discounts too. Chances are they have a lot of chips in different apartments all the same color. Then you can knock out several with not having to mix up the same color over and over again. Then clean up and meet the manager and maintenance person and personally speak with them while handing them your card.

[@Lucidawareness]

mowerdog that's awesome advice thank you so much you are very helpful! I'll be sure to make those points.

[@mowerdog]

Awesome!

[@tinadogmom8586]

Wow I'm impressed! Is that a polish you recommend? I like polishing my granite

[@mowerdog]

It's actually what I use when I buff out car paint. Any that is rated for a machine buffer will work.

[@tinadogmom8586]

Thank you. It looked good on counter.

[@Nativtexan2]

Is the final shine permanent or does it go away after awhile requiring it be buffed again?

[@mowerdog]

It depends on how much they scrub that area? It won't last more than a year. But by that time you'll have more chips to repair! It doesn't hurt to polish the whole top every year though...

[@rj33015]

How much do you charge for this project

[@mowerdog]

At that time I charged $100 per hour with a one hour minimum. I think this was around $125

[@danielleung3518]

How long did you wait for it to completely dry before sanding it down?

[@mowerdog]

around 1 hour

[@marc6859]

What is that repair kit called?

[@mowerdog]

Stone and granite chip repair kit. I don't think they make the exact one anymore. Just make sure it's a 2 part mix and you're good. amzn.to/3Tz9a6A

[@hmmmph3578]

Why is this video still in my history, after I've tried getting rid of it on numerous occasions!

[@mowerdog]

The gift that just keeps giving! LOL.... Maybe delete your history then restart your machine?

[@wch4972]

may i know the brand/name of the repair kit ?

[@mowerdog]

Diamond polishing discs - amzn.to/2WSKoDA I can't find the kit that I used. Here is one that looks good to me - amzn.to/2Jo0jSk

[@jth877]

What is the brand of your kit? I'm looking for one and that looks like the perfect size.

[@mowerdog]

I don't remember but I bought it off ebay. Sorry.

[@jth877]

I should have watched the vid to the end. Bonstone.

[@mowerdog]

OH. Great! It's been long enough I forgot.

[@XER239]

that's Galaxy Granite?

[@mowerdog]

Not sure?

[@paulremolina8788]

Good thing I have all evening to make popcorn, take my shoes off and lay down in my couch to whatch 20 plus minutes of BS to fix some stupid countertop chip.. as you may know. We are in the lightning speed times, apply this free tip, If you want to share doit fast and efficiently. 30 to 50 sec tops.

[@mowerdog]

I applied the 30 second theory on my wife. It didn't work out. So this is why I stretch my videos. Thanks for the advice though....
