One of the most common questions we get at Granite Gold is what to use to fill in seams on granite countertops. The good news is, our experts have a few different recommendations for the best way to go about it.
If you’re looking for a product that will perfectly match your granite’s color and texture, we recommend using our Granite Gold Seam Fill Kit. This easy-to-use kit comes with everything you need to get the job done right, including pre-tinted caulk and an applicator tip. Simply apply the caulk directly into the seam, then smooth it out with the applicator tip before allowing it to dry overnight.
For a more budget-friendly option, clear silicone caulking can also be used to fill in seams. Just be sure to select a high-quality brand that contains 100% silicone and no other ingredients, as these can cause staining. Apply the caulk directly into the seam using your finger or a putty knife, then smooth it out before allowing it to dry overnight.
Another popular choice for filling in seams is epoxy resin, which can be found at most hardware stores. However, we recommend using this method only if you’re experienced with working with epoxy resin, as it can be difficult to work with and easily results in an uneven finish if not done correctly. To use epoxy resin, mix equal parts of the resin and hardener together until they reach a uniform color, then apply it directly into the seam using a putty knife or your finger. Smooth it out as best you can before allowing it to dry completely (which could take up to 24 hours).
