Stone Pro Traverfill - Travertine Hole and Void Repair - 1 Pound - Light

I am very pleased with the result using this product. It was simple to mix and apply. It dries in 24 hours and I gave it an extra 24 and I wiped any residue off and sealed it. I do not know how durable it is as time will tell but it repaired the small holes that had appeared in my travertine floor tiles. I can not tell where the holes were now that it is complete. The light color matched quite well. I would recommend this product to anyone that wants to DIY the job. I did have to get down on my hands and knees with a really good light and the bathroom was off limits for a couple days. It looks new again which is something to say about a bathroom that is used all the time and the tile has been there for 20 years. I love travertine because it is so durable and timeless. This product just extends it's life!!

Filled the cracks and holes in our stone floors.Great job!

Great

I had travertine floors installed a few weeks ago and a couple of voids opened up after a few days that needed to be filled. I've used this twice now and had mixed results because the directions are a little vague. You need to mix this up really thoroughly and it needs to be almost the consistency of peanut butter so that it stays in the hole when you smooth it out and also has minimal shrinkage after drying. The problem is the thicker you mix it, the faster you need to work, so if you've got several voids to fill, you definitely want to mark them so that you don't miss any and you need to do the cleaning/vacuuming of the holes before you start mixing.If you can, start with smaller holes or holes in less conspicuous locations for practice.

While this product really does work great and is easy to use, the color on this is way off in my opinion. I bought both the light and dark so I could mix and adjust to my color needs. When mixed with water, the color looks very different as it lightens when it dries. I used the light by itself which I thought would be a light tan/beige color. Nope ... it was practically white. Even when I used the dark by itself (which looks like dark brown concrete when wet), it dries a light tan. So if you're looking for extremely light, almost white, this is the product for you. If you want something a bit darker and more of a beige/tan, get the Dark color instead.

My bathroom counter top is made of Travertine. A couple years ago, it developed a hairline crack that has gradually spread and now spans the full depth of the counter top. It took me less than 5 minutes to repair the crack with "light color" Traverfill. I mixed a small amount with water, filled it in the crack using a putty knife, and wiped away the excess with a damp sponge. The color blended well with the counter top, and you don't even see the crack anymore unless you know to look closely for it. Very satisfied with the ease of repair and the end result. Also glad to spend far less money than I would have to have a professional make the repair.

I used this to fill some areas in my travertine shower that had small cracks that I wanted to repair. One area in particular was about 2-1/2" in diameter and about 1/4" deep. I had to fill it three times, letting it dry between passes, and finally sanding slightly to get it flush. Bit of a learning curve getting the mixture right, but very satisfied with the result.

The dry color is white, but it wets to a good beige color.Easy to use and work with, easy to mix in a cut-down paper cup, easy to clean up with water and a paper towel.As others noted, it shrinks when it dries, so if you're filling anything larger than a pinhead, leave a good mound above the hole and trim it later with a putty knife or blade after it dries.
