Stephen,
Can I assume this might be a engineered stone, seeing it a quartzite
product? If so then I would recommend the following
Clean the hole with denatured
alcohol , do not use acetone if this is a engineered stone as the acetone could
affect the resin in the materials
1. Once the
area is cleaned you to get the right color you could use one of the many
polyester fills on the market
2. I probably
would recommend using a clear and adding color to match the color you are
looking for.
3. Or you
could use a sharpie the color you need then fill the area using a clean
polyester fill the color will come through the fill.
4. Once you
fill the area then you can use a single edge razor blade to scrape off the
excess materials, be careful not to scratch the surface.
5. Or you
could hone off the excess but this leads to more work finishing and blending
the area to the rest of the material.
The success of this repair depends upon your ability to
match colors and work with the polyester fills. I like the clear products they
usually do not yellow. You can use either a knife grade or a flowing grade
material , base upon your comfort level working with these products.
If I can be of any other assistance, please advise
