You sir are a true craftsman. I thank Mike for giving you a shout out. Learning this from you "old timers" is gold. The mud trick is something I learned from Mr. Haduck and has come in handy many times already. It doesn't surprise me that you know it too. Thank you for sharing my friend. I love the videos.
What I do for coloring in some circumstances when available is remove some surface material from a hidden spot from the item and when the material is mostly cured rub that material into the new repair. I've had great success and it lasts
Working on a patio off the back door we got a slight crack in the sill and are gonna use your method... How would you refinish the whole sill? Would it be some sort of orbital sander?
With wood you can mix your wood dust with glue for a spot on match. I would so try and cut out a piece that the grain cuts through... so I could use a marker to follow the grain and better hide my patch. I see you ended up sanding the entire top... could you cut an odd shape our and put the rock around it so it blends better from the old stone to the next? Kind of like how they blend in comic book art?

It is a small crack a half inch in off the face on the hinge side rounding out to the face four inches from the hinge side with a quarter size chip.
yes, any tool or even by hand, use 24 to 36 grit, 60 may work also.
Great dental work Wayne!
did you really like it? tell the tooth
Beautiful!

It depends on the circumstance, there are many methods and patching materials. Experiment.
To match I would have used some dust from chiseling the patch area instead of mud. My two cents.
go for it, there are many ways to work, i use the ones I know, but that doesn't mean that they're the best
Good to see
Thanks! B
Mike is,t there ? No big deal
