No matter how strong and durable the tabletop made of acrylic stone, it is subject to deformation under the influence of mechanical shock. Chips are one of the most common damage. To eliminate them, a whole technology has been developed and special repair compounds have been created that qualitatively mask the damaged countertop.
Sealing chips on an acrylic countertop
Beautifully camouflage chips on the countertop with improvised means will not work. There is one way out - fill them with special mastic. It is only necessary to select such repair compounds based on the trademark of the tabletop manufacturer. It is important to "get" into the chemical composition of acrylic, otherwise the peeling of glue can not be avoided. It is possible to make such a small-sized repair on your own without resorting to the services of masters. But, at the same time, you need to have a special polishing or grinding machine.
Repair of acrylic stone countertops takes place in several stages:
- Thorough cleaning of the deformed area and the surface near it. It is important to remove all dust, fine litter, particles of countertops. If this is not done, then the presence of garbage can complicate the repair process. If wet cleaning was carried out, then it is necessary to let the repaired surface dry;
- The edges of the existing chip must be “smoothed out” with a mill. This is done in order to increase the adhesion of the repair composition and the acrylic surface;
- The mixture is being prepared - it is a two-component composition - transparent glue and crumbs in the color of the tabletop. Just for such cases, when installing a countertop, a small piece of it is issued. It will help you choose the color of the mastic. If one was not found, then this sample can be crushed into glue and the chip cleaved with the resulting composition;
- Paste repair mixture is poured into chips, forming an angle if necessary;
- In accordance with the instructions, allow the dried-up area to dry. Then it is carefully polished. This is done using grinders with wheels of varying degrees of abrasiveness. In this case, use a special paste for polishing the countertops.
After carrying out such repairs, the places of chips are completely merged with the general color scheme of the countertop. If everything was done correctly and using high-quality materials, then the restored part of the acrylic stone will be durable and durable.
