About Our Product

Unlike temporary water-based "fillers," Instant Install 29 offers lifelong, permanent repair durability that will never wear off or wash away, making it 100% safe for contact with surfaces that may come into contact with food (e.g., kitchen countertops). Instant Install 29 is designed to be very easy to use for the do-it-yourself (DIY) homeowner or the professional and is easily tinted with our EZ-Tint (highly concentrated iron-ore pigments), which will never migrate out of cured repairs as thinned-down mica and liquid tints tend to do. Untinted epoxy can darken over time. Tinting ensures greater color matching between the epoxy and your stone and masks any future discoloration of the epoxy that may occur over time.

Uses for Instant Install 29Uses for Instant Install 29

Uses

Instant Install 29 can be used for surface chips, cracks, gouges, pits, countertop installation, or reattaching/rebuilding lost stone. It is an ultra-durable, knife-grade epoxy that is non-toxic, food-safe, and easy to use.

Formulated for do-it-yourselfers (DIYers), Instant Install 29 features a forgiving fifteen-minute workable period while also curing quickly in under thirty minutes. The tintable epoxy resin (EZ-Tint sold separately) self-levels and dries with a glossy finish, making it ideal for permanently rebuilding/repairing surfaces and installing countertops quickly.

Repair-Specific Instructions

For more detailed instructions, please see the "Instructions for Use" module below.

CHIPPED STONE: No tint is needed if you have a clean break. Apply the epoxy to one side and push the stone firmly into place. Clamp the stone or use duct tape for a tight hold while drying and for less visible seams.

COUNTERTOP INSTALLATION: No joint-line taping is needed as the dried epoxy does not stick to smooth surfaces. Mix equal parts hardener and resin and apply the epoxy to one or both edges of the stone. Clamp the stone for maximum bond strength. Let the epoxy cure and then razor off the excess in approximately 30 minutes once the epoxy is dry-to-touch.

CRACKS: The width of the crack must be at least as wide as a credit card for the epoxy to be able to fill it. Tint the epoxy and fill the crack to the surface. Allow the epoxy to self-level for a glossy finish. For a matte/travertine-type finish, razor the dried surface.

REBUILDING MISSING CHIPS: Tint and fill chip the with epoxy, shape the epoxy into place, let it dry, and razor off the excess.

Rebuilding Missing Chips

Note: Reattaching broken-off pieces rarely requires tinting unless some pieces are missing.

  1. Remove the protective film that forms over the hardener. Dip out equal amounts of hardener and resin using individual dipping sticks.
  2. Mix the hardener and resin together thoroughly on a flat surface (e.g., paper plate).
  3. If needed, add in small amounts of EZ-Tint (sold separately) to the mixed epoxy until the desired color is achieved.
  4. Fill the chip. Try not to overfill it.
  5. On profiled edges/vertical repairs, tape down the shaping strip (included with your EZ-Tint purchase) over the epoxy.
  6. Allow 30 to 45 minutes for the epoxy to dry.
  7. Slowly peel back the shaping strip.
  8. Make sure the epoxy is dry-to-touch and razor off the dried excess. The epoxy will not stick to smooth surfaces.
  9. Instant Install 29 will cure to a glossy finish. For a matte/travertine-type finish, razor the dried surface.

Repairing Horizontal or Vertical Cracks

Note: The epoxy may need to be forced into finer cracks using a plastic putty knife.

  1. Remove the protective film that forms over the Hardener. Dip out equal amounts of hardener and resin using individual dipping sticks.
  2. Mix the hardener and resin together thoroughly on a flat surface.
  3. Add in small amounts of EZ-Tint (sold separately) to the mixed epoxy until the desired color is achieved.

Use a plastic putty knife for large cracks. Try not to overfill the crack.

  1. On vertical cracks (e.g., walls), tape down the shaping strip (included with your EZ-Tint purchase) over the epoxy. Using the shaping strip on flat/horizontal cracks is optional as the epoxy will self-level.
  2. Allow 30 to 45 minutes for the epoxy to dry.
  3. Slowly peel back the shaping strip.
  4. Make sure the epoxy is dry-to-touch and razor off the dried excess. The epoxy will not stick to smooth surfaces.
  5. Instant Install 29 will cure to a glossy finish. For a matte/travertine-type finish, razor the dried surface.

Countertop Installation

Note: No joint-line taping is needed as the dried epoxy does not stick to smooth surfaces.

  1. Remove the protective film that forms over the Hardener.
  2. Dip out equal amounts of hardener and resin using individual dipping sticks.
  3. Mix the hardener and resin together thoroughly on a flat surface (e.g., paper plate).
  4. If needed, add in small amounts of EZ-Tint (sold separately) to the mixed epoxy until the desired color is achieved. If the joint-lines will be tight, tinting is not necessary.
  5. Apply epoxy to one or both edge(s).
  6. Clamp the stone tightly for maximum bond strength.
  7. Allow 30 to 45 minutes for the epoxy to dry.
  8. Make sure the epoxy is dry-to-touch and razor off the dried excess. The epoxy will not stick to smooth surfaces.
  9. Instant Install 29 will cure to a glossy finish. For a matte/travertine-type finish, razor the dried surface.

Shaping/Razoring EpoxyShaping/Razoring Epoxy

Note: When reattaching a piece of stone or tile that has a clean break with no missing pieces, tinting is optional. However, if the epoxy will be visible, tinting the epoxy will mask any yellowing or other discoloration that may occur over time.

  1. Measure out and mix equal portions of hardener and resin.

2. Add in a small amount of tint and stir it in thoroughly. (Unlike diluted liquid tints, EZ-Tint is a highly concentrated powder. A little goes a long way!)

3. Keep adding small amounts of tint until the desired color is achieved. Black or white tint can be added to darken or lighten the shade of the epoxy. As can be seen in the chip repair video on this product page, small specks of tint can also be added in after the epoxy is applied to your repair to create multiple colors and striations that are often found in stone.

4. Your EZ-Tint purchase includes a 2-inch by 4-inch clear shaping strip. Using the shaping strip is optional on flat-surface repairs. On vertical surfaces, the shaping strip helps to keep the epoxy in place. On profiled edges like countertops, the shaping strip shapes the epoxy to the exact profile. Just use painter’s tape to tape the shaping strip down and keep it in place. In approximately 20 minutes, lift one edge of the shaping strip and ensure the epoxy is dry-to-touch. Once the epoxy has dried, the shaping strip will not stick to it and peels away easily. Simply razor away the dried excess. Razoring the cured surface will matte the finish if desired. If a glossy surface is desired, take care not to scrape the surface with the razor.
