How do I make a hard white glue/filler?

Bitsilly · Post by **Bitsilly** » Mon Sep 11, 2023 11:32 am

I know and I'm sorry, this has little to do with Minis but you are a knowledgeable lot!
I have a victorian tiled hallway and most of the broken/cracked/previously drilled tiles are white or off-white.
Does anyone know of a white or off-white paste or putty that i could fill the cracks and damage with that will harden and stick well?
It doesn't have to be a perfect match as anything will be an improvement.
I was thinking along the lines of builders resin or milliput, neither of which I have used before!
Thanks in advance, (and Sorry Mark, deleted if you need to!).

Toupret filler sands easily stays white, but not very shiny.

I’ll have a look, cheers.
Not shiny is good!

Just thought that if it sands well it wouldn’t be up to being walked on.

Epoxy with chalk dust mixed in?

Tiling adhesive like this may work https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01 ... UTF8&psc=1

This is brilliant white, but will dull down or you can add a colour to tint it, its a matt finish.

When dry you can sand it.

Will grout do the job?

My instant thought when I read this was Milliput. Superb stuff. I have used it for 1,000,000 and one jobs for years. It is available in white as well as the usual, grotty green / grey.
