Patching Materials

Because countertop surfaces are situated only a few feet below eye level, even minor flaws or tiny bugholes will be noticeable. Be ready to fill these voids with a patching slurry color-matched to the countertop. You can mix up the slurry yourself using a combination of cement, fine sand, water, and pigment. But for greater convenience, consider buying a ready-to-use prepackaged slurry, which is often sold by the suppliers of countertop mixes. Be sure to get a product compatible with the mix you're using. Some are available in various pigments.
