Black 7/8" thick marble hearth laid
on durock directly on subfloor, will be
surrounded with laminate flooring.
Problem is a chip on the front edge
needs to be covered.
First thought is make an oak nosing, but
then I thought maybe something like a
black anodized stair nosing, or h/d vinyl
corner guard, or......
might jump out at you a bit less.


Anyone?
Bueller?
Anyone?

How big a chip? My first thought was epoxy, mainly because I'm playing with some on a current project. Clear takes on the color of the surrounding area but may be too glossy for what your doing. You could scuff that to a matte finish.

Good Luck

It couldn't be in a more obvious place
and it is very near the patio door.
Have to be a very good match, and I'm
not looking to learn any new trades here. :laugh4:

Does Shlutter offer something that would work for you?

I think I'd fix it with some kind of epoxy and color it, any cover up will look terrible.

It sits at a 45 to a 6' slider 3' away.
A patch would have to be better than
perfect to disappear.
By the time I paid for someone that good
(I ain't) I might as well tear it out and
buy a new piece....I think?
