Porc-A-Fix Porcelain Chip Filler for Deep Chips & Gouges, Fill-A-Fix, PF-12

Worked perfectly to fix our bathroom sink.

I had a good suze chip on the edge of a ceramic porcelain farmhouse sink that revealed the dark grey ceramic base material. I has repaired it about a year and a half ago but that epoxy type repair eventually popped off revealing the same base material. I've been looking for a different type of repair material and decided on the Fix-a-fill porcelain repair because it seemed to be a material that would gradually build up on the surface. That is exactly what it did. You apply a thin coat of the premixed material and smooth it with the wooden applicator. After letting it dry for a short while, apply another coat and repeat until you have fully filled in the chip. I sanded it down with very fine sand or emory paper until smooth and level and then used the BS -1 Bright White porcelain glaze from Fix-a-fill. I applied several thin coats until the patch was completely covered, and let it dry. I then sanded with a very fine wet and dry emory sanding paper (using a little water) and sanded until the surface was smooth. Rubbed it with a dry cloth and it looks great. I can still see the area since I know there's a patch there, but it looks 100% better and saved spending $600 on a new sink.The size of the sanding paper included in the kits is a joke, but just pick up a sheet at a hardware store. Just be patient with applying the material, using multiple thin coats to build up the surface and sand it down smooth at the end. I am extremely pleased with the look.

Worked well with a large ding, however, would not sand it totally smooth before applying the final color coat. The filler color is cream'ish so you will need to get the right white top coat to cover it. If you apply the white coat to a perfectly filled filler coat you will end up sanding most of the white top coat off trying to smooth it out again, so instead use a little less filler and a little more top coat. And take your time and use several grades of fine sandpaper. The spot is now invisable.

This product worked very well. I had a problem with this brand's glaze not hardening but this dried solidly. I was concerned that the glaze did not harden because I relied on shaking and not stirring it to mix. I stirred this and it worked great. I used a blue glaze to cover it and once again with stirring, it hardened nicely.

A friend broke their friend's porcelain statue into two and was going to toss it but I jumped in not wanting things thrown away. Super glue did short work of putting it back together but there were visible cracks. Bought this by recommendation by another and I got to say, it filled in the cracks very well. There was a slight texture difference on the porcelain but you care barely see it. Everyone was happy with the work done on it. I recommend for statue repair.

Updated: I opened the bottle and learned that there is no brush inside, like the brush in a nail polish bottle. I went to start the exchange/return process and Amazon states that there are NO refunds and says I have to go to the Online Returns Center to contact the seller. I did not find this to be easy, but eventually located how to do this. The seller informed me there is no brush, only a wooden stick applicator. The mixture is not like spackle and more like paint. If I had known it did not come with a brush, I would not have ordered it. Now I have to go purchase a brush to apply it. I did not find this purchase to be a good value.

With a couple re-applied coats, this was successful in building up the surface of two large chips on the edge of our cast iron enamel sink. These chips are on the undermount flange and not exposed to sight or water, so I did not need a perfect repair. I'm very happy with the way this product built up the missing material before I applied the top coat of white enamel - which was not as successful and the subject of it's own review.

Works well, just be patient and put 1 coat at a time, let it dry and repeat. It’s very tempting to full the whole indentation at once but you will be disappointed with the result.
