StonePro – Traverfill Light (1 Lb.) (for Repairing Holes in Travertine)

worked great, easy to mix small batches by hand and fill voids in my travertine pool deck. drys quickly only downside is be careful not to let the over fill dry, it can be hard to get up once cured.

Used this for travertine tiles in the shower that had developed porous holes (or maybe they were always there and I didn't notice). Anyway, stonepro did a great job filling in all the holes. Just mix it up with water in a small trowel (follow the directions) and use a small spatula or scraper to fill the holes. Let it set a few minutes and wipe off the excess with a sponge. The results are seemless.

Easy to mix and apply. I used the Stone pro video tutorial. Set quickly and blends in well with the stone floor. Someone recommended that I had to seal the patches afterwards , although this wasn't suggested on the pack. Happy and would use again.

As you can see, it really doesn't change the color of the light/ivory Travertine tiles at all. The stack on the left are the tiles with Traverfill and the stack on the right are the ones I didn't need to fill - thank the goddesses! This is a lot of work if you get holy, darn near fossilized tiles. Some of them are horrendously holy.You can see the color of the Traverfill on the tiles laying out on the table drying. The dark spots are the Traverfill. It dries almost white, but looks good on the light/ivory tiles.I have to say, this stuff does amazing things to hole-filled tiles. Makes them smooth as butter!My favorite, extremely expensive tools are: a popsicle stick, a scoop from Vitamin C powder and an eye dropper. 👍The popsicle stick is perfect for mixing the Traverfill and water on the tile and spreading it out and then squeegeeing with the edge of the stick to do a skim coat. The perfect squeegee! Works great.The scoop works great for getting the perfect amount of Traverfill on the tiles and the eyedropper adds just the right amount of water. Those three tools cost me nothing.I worked 10 hours today and got only 18 sq ft out of 35 sq ft filled. It's slow going, so set aside a weekend to do this. More time if you have more than 35 sq ft.I used about half of my 1 lb jar, so ordered a 3 lb tub today so I can finish this this weekend.This is good stuff if you have holy Travertine like I do? Worth every penny, IMO.

This material comes as a colored powder and is easy to mix by adding water. It does NOT harden in 10-15 as advertised, but has a working period closer to 45 minutes. It’s fine for patching pin holes, but be prepared to go over twice on any blemishes larger than a dime due to shrinkage. Two coats took care of holes as large as a quarter.

Mixes and sets up fast, super easy to use to fill dings in my travertine. Durable, blends right in and can’t even tell the fill from the Travertine. Also like that it’s a powder you mix up as needed. No premixed product sitting in the garage drying out.

This is my third round with this product. It works just great. I have a 25 year old Travertine floor that #1 requires routine maintenance and repairs. This works perfectly and simply for spot repairs. It can handle holes from the size of a pencil point to those as big as a quarter it's all in how you handle the viscosity of the product when you mix it with water. #2 a large tree formerly in my front yard managed to push its roots under the foundation slab's corner lifting it up and producing a crack in the Travertine floor that went the entire length of the house. Rather than try to fill the entire crack I purchased both the light and dark versions of the Traverfill and did some mixing, matching and blending after some practice and it thoroughly camouflaged the crack. I can still "see" the crack because I've been living with it and working with it. However, when I point it out to visitors I have to practically get them on hands-and-knees to find it. I went to a big box flooring company and bought a couple of Travertine tiles to practice on for a day and eventually, as the job went on, I got better at it. There are quite a few videos on-line that show the tools needed (not much) and the product in use that are very helpful. Still, there is no substitute for experience. Start out small in inconspicuous spots. Remember, the repair is NOT do-or-die. As you get better at it you may be compelled to go back and re-do an earlier fix. No problem. You can dig out the first repair with a pick or a dremel and try again. BTW, make sure you have something to cushion your knees. Travertine is a soft stone but your knees can't tell...ouch. The improvement in the look of your Travertine floor is very rewarding. Enjoy!

It was easy to use to repair holes in travertine tiles. One thing I did not like was cleaning the floor afterward. It seems simple but residue remains even after cleaning. Video instructions on youtube show simple wipe-off. But it is not. I have some spots the previous homeowner repaired and now causing eyesores due to not removing the residue completely. Just make sure that you clean them well. One more thing, due to color differentiation within the tiles, it will not be a perfect match in some. Regardless, it looks good.. only wish the pack comes with a color mix in a small packet or tube so I can play with the color variation.
