Hello,
I have a small corner edge chip recently on a newly added benchtop.
I search over the internet and they are suggesting to go for clear epoxy glue. Please can you suggest or confirm the direction.

Hello @imcodebased
It would be a shame to waste all that glue for such a small area. I suggest using Gorilla Glue 51ml Clear Bottle instead. It has a resealable bottle which means that you can put it away for future use. The best part of this glue is that you can trim it. Once you have glued the broken piece back on you can use a sharp blade to trim off any excess glue on the table.
Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing your benchtop repaired.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @imcodebased
If you don't have the broken piece, I suggest engaging the services of a stone benchtop repair person. Using epoxy or glue will make it very noticeable and will make the chip stand out even more. Unfortunately, the store does not have the coloured resin necessary to repair your stone benchtop. Professional repair people have different coloured resins in their repair kit and will allow them to colour match your benchtop.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks @MitchellMc - I've been a Bunnings customer for ages and its great to see that the community can solve problems together!
And I've got another chip so I'll let you know how I go!
Hi @hishfernando I would like to know an update on this. How did you go with the glue? I have a Dekton benchtop - only a month old and already have 2 chips - would be really keen to know if it works. I bought this product to fix it https://www.bunnings.com.au/pc-11-56g-white-epoxy-paste_p1560098?region_id=117313&gad_source=1&gclid... - but I'm afraid to in case I ruin it.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @mmagias. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repair chips in a benchtop.
Given that the area is solid white, I highly recommend you enlist the services of a professional to perform the repair. It should be simple for someone who specialises in this work, and you should expect that it will be nearly impossible to detect afterwards. I would not suggest you try to perform this repair yourself.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
