HI.  I have been using plexus in various situations since about the beginning of the year. It works very well for thin cracks and scratches.  I have noticed that it doesn't really eradicate the darkness of the crack, so you can often see the crack under the coating.  I have experimented with colors and noticed that it doesn't really mix well with some of the colorants or stone powders that can be used with epoxy, although I haven't tried everything out there.  i have had good success by filling in deep or wider cracks with a colored epoxy base, filling the crack with epoxy to just under the lip of the crack, and then finishing off with plexus. It more or less solves the problem of epoxy expanding and contracting in the crack.

When I was at the Stone convention last November I saw a demonstration of the Akemi version of the plexus (and there is also another company that makes a similar kit).  The Akemi version has all sorts of colorants, an application gun and an ultraviolet raygun in a fancy carrying case with special foam cutouts to hold things in place.  It also costs around $2000.00.  The plexus is just the crack filler, which is similar to superglue and comes in hypodermic like applicators.  The ultraviolet light is just an led flashlight with ultraviolet bulbs.  It also comes with small plastic sheets to place over the filled crack while treating with ultraviolet, and some  packets of plastic polish.  It is not unlike superglue.  I haven't tried combining baking powder with this to see what it does, but I have often used superglue mixed with baking powder on cracks in white marble and it works pretty well, so that may be an idea (I learned this from a guitar repair guy who fixes guitar bindings in this manner).

I think I know what you are talking about but the address takes me to an outsourcing company in India. Could you check that for me? Thanks.

Don,
 
 I’m not familiar with this product would test before bidding the job. Have you considered using the repair system Plexus UV repairs. This was designed to repair engineered stones.
The repair kit cost around $175 to $200. I think this would work better then a resin material.

This should interest everyone. I was contacted by a "Gentleman's Club" to do some work. It seems that the stages that the girls perform on our in disrepair. Since we do not want any injuries in this trade, I have been asked to initiate some repairs. The stages are made of a component that they called 'crystalino" which I am sure is some type of resin. I have to repair any number of gouges due to the pressure of the 6 inch high heels of the girls while they perform, additionally, they want the stages polished,

So, do I use the process of restoration of engineered stone on this? Has any ever heard of this product? This is a true story and I will do my best to get pictures of their employees upon completion of the job.

Finally, any feedback on restoration of granite composite sinks from my post several days ago?

Thanks
