Re: Hairline Crack in Granite--Old Installation

I will echo what Cheesedog said about the CA just add a bit - you can get colorants which you can add to the CA bottle and shake well - use white for sure with the rosa beta or white with a touch of grey. Mix the color before applying the ca (use the super thin) to the crack and let sink in. Do not use the accelorator but let the CA kick in its own time then use a nice fresh razor to shave the excess off when fully cured. Just be patient as you want as much CA to sink into the fissure as possible.

Rodding would not have stopped the fissure from happening in a stress situation ( unlevel tops or settling cabinets ) - It will only stop the stone from completely coming apart at the fissure.
