Things You Will Need
Fortunately, it is also relatively easy to fix with the purchase of a few materials and some patience to ensure achieving the correct color.
-
Mix super glue with powders such as baking soda or rice flour. This creates instant plastic with a translucent quality similar to marble.
-
Buy a small tub of lightweight spackling paste as an alternative to mixing your own. It has the consistency of cake frosting and is water workable.
-
Add some powdered stone the color of the marble you are filling for a color match.
-
Prepare a small amount of the materials and let it dry fully. Compare the finished color and finish with your marble statue.
-
Apply to the chipped area of your statue with a plastic spatula. Use a soft cloth to wipe away any excess.
-
Sand the filled-in area of your marble statue gently with high grit sandpaper. Remove any dust particles with a clean cloth.
-
Consult a local ceramic hobby shop or a tile and counter company for a large chip or break in your statue if you prefer not to attempt a repair yourself.
