question for Joseph C, quartz seam

tabbybee12

Is there a way to make this seam not be so visible? We’ve had so many delays I want to ignore it but don’t know if I can

    It depends. If they used a clear adhesive, that often shows up as a medium gray which appears to be the case. If the seam is wide enough to remove the adhesive or enough of it, it can be done over with a better color match.

    If you have a do-over done, I'd retard the adhesive catalyst. You'll have to pay more for the tech to wait longer for the adhesive to harden, but catalyst causes yellowing in whites. You don't want the seam to look great now, but turn yellow(ish) in a year or two.

    If the joint is contaminated, I'd poultice it with some #40 peroxide from the beauty supply store.

    These whites are notorious for color matching seams.

      I'd like to know the answer because I have something very similar. It doesn't bother me all that much, but if there's an easy fix, I'd be very interested.

      Could you share the model of your cooktop?

      The epoxy fill used for seam is a gray instead of a white. Would recommend they mix white with a hint of gray. This may match the stone a littler better. With that being said, you will always see the seam because it is a straight line running through material and not natural looking but color match will help.

      It's normal to seam a long run of granite or Quartz at the narrowest visible spot (the edge of the sink or the edge of the cooktop. My seam was at the sin, but they put a matching colored mastic in the seam so it barely showed. Because your Quartz is white, the seam, even if filled with matching mastic or grout will need more attention because it is white. I would try using a little bleach on a q-tip once a week.

      I'll repeat myself; maybe you can see this one:

      " I would try using a little bleach on a q-tip once a week."


      Bleach is much too strong for engineered stone. Once or twice, maybe, but bleach every week will destroy this top.

      Thanks, I see both posts now lol! I was hoping you’d say I could use magic something or other. I may try the peroxide if the builder argues with me.
