if its exterior you should use an exterior grade epoxy so the uv lighting will not affect it. (thats what I was told last year)..I did a granite cladding repair that had been damaged by skateboarder last year...it has held up well..pure epoxy will work better than polyester epoxy..btw, the trick i came up was put tape on the outside, then filled the hole with epoxy on a razor blade..when it hardened, i pulled the tape...it left a nice crisp fill, then i just rounded it off with a razor blade...fast and pretty simple repair..

I will be doing this job where the pictured greek marble will be used. It is very dense. There are chips on a lot of the edges and corners. They want it all removed by grinding but I told them I would need to patch the bigger chips, not going to be committed to grind so deep... It is exterior, so I need an epoxy rather than a polyester. Any suggestions for the glue? The chips are so small I was thinking about using the epoxy clear.
