How to repair chip on electric cooktop?

Lak19

Hello,

Is there a product that I can use, like a high heat touch up kit to seal a minor electric cook top chip.

Thanks

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

Assuming the chip is superficial and well clear of any of the wiring and the cooking elements, then I believe you can take steps to help with the chip. If it is in any way affecting the operation of the stovetop, then you should speak with a professional appliance repair person.

To touch up the area, you could use an epoxy such as Gorilla Clear Epoxy Glue mixed with Protite Black Resin Pigment - Black. Once cured, this epoxy has a service temperature of between -23°C to 82°C so as long as you are not placing pots directly on it, then it should be fine.

Start by putting on some gloves, then removing any loose glass chips. Once tidied up, mask off the outside of the chip with some painter's tape to ensure the epoxy does not go outside of where you want it.

Mix your epoxy and add the pigment to colour your epoxy as closely as possible, then apply it to the chip, leaving the tape in place while it sets.

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hi Jacob,

Thank this is great help, can I please check is there any specific measurements as to how much pigment I need to add to the glue.

Thanks

Hi @Lak19,

Unfortunately, not really. You're just going to have to eye it.

Black pigment is pretty strong, so for a small size, you would be using no more than 2 drops, maybe even just 1.

Let me know if you have further questions.
