Cultured Marble Crack

Tim,

I believe I have a cultured marble whirlpool. It is about 6 years old and has developed a horizontal crack near the base. Is there any way to repair the crack?

Thanks,

Bill Selkirk

Bill,

You can apply clear epoxy over the crack. Often the crack is just in the upper gel coat, not through the entire matrix of the cast stone. I would closely inspect the crack and try to determine if it is just in the clear coat. If it is, it simply is an aesthetic issue.
