| |  | | Notices | Hi Unregistered,
I am Josveek Huligar of Huligar Stone Restoration. It is my hope that a few good craftsmen and craftswomen will call this sanctuary a home.
I will try to make this place as appealing to you as possible.
We do have a few ground rules (without rules there can only be chaos).
1. Respect yourself and your trade.2.No trade bashing. But, by all means, please debate. It is through the debates that we get to the truth.
3. In your signature, you may not link to any other site. If you supplied your link in your profile, you may put that link under your avatar
4. Do not insult the guests.
5. Your participation is necessary in all polls. This is the only way we can get real feedback.6.You can post pictures of your work. Please, the only work we really care about is the work you do to stone, not on it (nothing inappropriate).
7. You will also be required to be active in this forum. I intend to rid the NSRA Trade area of the hacks and stone-voyeurs by mandating anyone who wants access to the trade lounge to register with their location and trade. If for any reason a person does not participate for duration of 60 days they will be banned from the lounge "No Beer for you". We have guys who are willing to share their knowledge and experience to the public for free. The least you can do is ask the questions. If trade lounge has just one other person, I would be happy if that one person was someone I could exchange ideas with and by doing so better myself. In that way, this site is more about show and tell.
8. The general public will not be allowed in the trade lounge. The trade lounge members are not allowed in the student lounge. The students will be able to view but not post in the general room. All questions for the trade are to be confined to the trade lounge or they would be redirected to the trade lounge. Anyone in the trade lounge can make a reply to the general room once they keep in mind that we are promoting natural stone as a serviceable product.
9. We are craftsmen and women, not politicians. So leave the politics out.
MIA, Marble Cleaning Net, NTC, sfa and ISI are all welcome here as long as they respect this forum. There is a room where all may place their ads and do their promotions for upcoming events, a calendar for trade shows, educational classes, and any other type of trade gathering. For all the salespeople, we even have a place for you. You can enter your product up for reviews and the good folks will grade your products. I must warn you. If your product is inferior, the whole world will know, quickly. No news travels faster than bad news. For all the homeowners, contractors, and designers we even have a place for you. The general room is where you can ask as many questions as you want. You may not get the answer you are looking for but you will get the right answer. If there is any way that we can make your visit more pleasurable, please let us know. | | Consumer Help Discuss, granite countertop crack at Consumer & Non-registered Lounge forum; We were trying to lay the slab down on the countertop and it split right in the middle.

| granite countertop crack
We were trying to lay the slab down on the countertop and it split right in the middle. First crack is oh 2.5-3 inches and at the top where through one of the faucet holes and the other is at the center of the sink base and is 3 inches long. What will work best to fix it? Will the little NSR kit take care of the job and have enough product? Thanks, Mike |

With the right skills it should only take CA, sharpie, and razors if it is flat. If not you will need a good set of top polishing pads, rigid disc backer, and a slow but powerful angle grinder.
If you don't have the skills call someone who does. It is not a repair for the in-experienced.

They will need a lot more than CA for this one.

To hide or camouflage the crack, make sure you mix the correct colors. | |

It may be his best bet to get a member from his area to do this job

Dude that's no crack - that is broken. That will need rods front and back after the broken is glued back together. This needs a restoration guy to fix it or just plain ... a sledge hammer and a new one.
