Does the glue come in any colour and are certain colours less noticable when it comes to joins? Re: Show us your CaesarStone joins 4Dec 23, 2010 11:55 am not sure if it's a colour or just translucent which makes it invisible but if you want to make sure just ask any CS supplier. They might be able to give you more details. Do you have benches longer than 3 m?

Yes, our benches are longer than 3m. Re: Show us your CaesarStone joins 7Dec 24, 2010 9:01 am Thanks for that kyton. Would you mind uploading a pic of your join? Re: Show us your CaesarStone joins 8Dec 24, 2010 11:16 am The visibility of the join will also depend on how uniform the CS is. For example, the join when using the colour Pure White or Snow will be next to invisible in comparison to Nougat, Nimbus, Free Spirit, etc. Re: Show us your CaesarStone joins 9Dec 24, 2010 11:46 am We have Almond Rocca Ceasarstone. Having a L shaped island bench we had to have a join. Here is a photo taken looking along the join line: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ As a comparison, here is the bench from directly above: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Practically invisible. Second Time 'Round Re: Show us your CaesarStone joins 13Mar 10, 2011 8:08 am Agree skills and tools too things are a must Special stone joiner leveler Key and block the joins so the don't move or hairline fracture Third. - seamless joiner for stone only a new process but gives you a seamless join in stone Again time is money and adds a bit to the job even installed tops can be fixed Re: Show us your CaesarStone joins 15Mar 10, 2011 8:31 am Northern NSW Though as you appreciate stonemasons travel lol We are master stonemasons - building - monumental - banker We cover western NSW northern and most places between Brisbane and Sydney and as far as goondiwindi moree tamworth etc Re: Show us your CaesarStone joins 16Jul 12, 2011 11:32 am Hi everyone, Sorry to re-ignite an old thread here, but I am a first-time poster and this seems like logical place to ask my question! Put simply, I have a long Quartzstone benchtop which is in Arctic White finished off with a cascade on the end. We had the benchtop installed by a stonemason about 2 years ago and it looked wonderful upon installation. The benchtop has a join near the sink area which was nearly invisible upon installation. Unfortunately in the last 12 months the gap in the join has basically moved apart, leaving us now with a gap of about 2-3mm This is of course, less than ideal. I have looked at everything around the cabinet carcasses etc that may have caused the issue, and there is nothing immediately apparent. Therefore, I can only put it down to something 'settling' over time and moving the pieces apart. As the benchtop is siliconed to the carcasses, it is not straightforward to just remove it and start again. My question is, firstly is there something we can do with the benchtop in situ, that will 'close' the gap back up? ie some kind of brace or screwing mechanism, attached underneath? Secondly, if I do have to fill the gap, what would be the best to use? I hope you can help me, as it's really p*ssing me off that we are unable to shout at the stonemason, due to the problem only appearing a couple of years after installation.

I don't understand why you can't just call the stonemason that installed the bench and politely ask him whether he can look at the bench for you and see if there is something that he can explain or fix. I don't see that shouting at him is going to help any, because if I had an ex-customer like that, I'd hang up on you. But if I had a polite, reasonable ex-customer, I'd try to be helpful and might potentially fix it for free. Thanks mate. Yeah good points!
