So glad I bought this kit! The color panel helped find the correct match. You can’t even see the crack anymore. Highly, highly recommend.After applying the paste, I scrapped off the excess. Then let it sit for a minute, and took a light damp paper towel and scrubbed off over the crack and excess. Looks like the original tile now.

Quite frankly, I was not expecting much from this product. To my surprise, the color matching is superb and is very easy to apply. Just follow the instruction exactly as shown in the video they provide with the scanning code and you will be amazed too.

So, it took me a while to get around to mixing this product up. Easy enough instructions. You need to have a 'color eye' to get the colors right. (don't believe the color mix chart) Still no big deal. Instructions included not very clear so I went to the website to watch video. Made them a little more clear. I think I did a fairly good job of matching up my tile fixes....thankfully, they were very small chips that really weren't all that bad to begin with. At any rate, why would a company give you all necessary items to mix, etc. but make the MIXING BOARD (probably one of the most critical elements) out of PAPER? So, you are only supposed to mix this stuff up one time? Hello? The mixing bowl and mixing/application tool(loose term) are plastic. The color mixing stick is wood and THE MIXING BOARD is CARDBOARD. Really? That is just about stupid. And for the price of this kit, it is ridiculous. I am disappointed. Now, I will have to 'estimate' the amount of putty (was fairly easy using the mixing board). Everything else is set up as mult-use, why not the mixing board?

First off, the results, as pictured, look really good for polished stone tile.I should note that I've been a professional traditional media artist for 20+ years, so working with stone patching color mixing and faux texturing wasn't too hard.If you read the a accompaying instructions you should be good.With that said, some notes; the black is super black, dilute it with water and use sparingly!! As well as most other colors.If you are a novice you should study basic color mixing first, particularly RGB method. The kit comes with many common stone colors if you dont feel like mixing the basics BUT if you want an exact match you will be doing a lot of trial an error and you will have to use the included red, green, and blues.The patching base compound in the tube is kinda minimal, only enough for about a square inch.As the instructions say, patch dark, then let dry, then texture with a lighter mix using a frialed cotton swab.You will need more cotton swabs than the kit has!!The compound looks lighter when wet but dries darker!! Do go light on the first passThe final lacquer coat leaves much to be desired. It comes with no polishing tools and if you have a perfectly flat stone floor tile to patch them you need to sand it afterwards.Overall it's a good kit but I think it needs more patching compound.
