901 White Seam-Fil 1 Oz Tube

Worked great, made my cabinets look seamless. : ) Perfect color match for 20 yr + white melamine foil cabinets. Used color 901 white.

The SeamFil product was easy to use and worked as advertised. For deep chips in Formica countertops, more than one application may be required as SeamFil does shrink a bit as it dries. For cracks and seams between separate pieces of Formica, SeamFil bridged the gaps nicely. Recommendation: watch the YouTube videos before using SeamFil as there are valuable tips on applying the product. My fault entirely: I bought the white SeamFil because it seemed closest to the color of my kitchen Formica countertop which is sort of a faint parchment/bluish color. The white SeamFil stands out glaringly. Perhaps I'll try spilling coffee on the repairs and see if the white can be toned down.

I was pretty desperate to find some way to fix my counter short of replacing it. The laminate edging strip was gone, so I fastened on wood edging and primed it, then used Seamfil to fill the gap between the edging and the laminate countertop. The instructions advise working it with a putty knife till it thickens and then applying it but I got the best results from using it straight out of the tube -- it tooled smoothly, blended in well with my existing laminate, and hardened quickly. It did crack when I tried to fill a dime-size chip/hole with it, so in retrospect I would have filled that hole slowly one layer at a time. I didn't have much luck filling in shallow scratches (tooling it with a putty knife seems to scrape away any layer that might have camouflaged the scratch, later I will try wiping the excess with my finger instead). After the Seamfil cured I taped off the new edging and gave it several coats of epoxy spray paint; it looks great, repels water and cleans up easily. Seamfil turned out to be a very useful product at a reasonable price.

I'm a furniture-maker who usually works in solid wood and ply, but for this project, white melamine was the best choice. I bought the seam-fil to fill and disguise the inevitable chips in the melamine from cutting on the table saw.The seam-fil recommends working it until it is thickening, but that didn't work well for me, so I started using it right out of the tube like the other reviewer. Using either method, the seam-fil doesn't really fill the chips. It turns them white and kind of plasticky looking so the chips are somewhat camouflaged, but there are still depressions in the surface. Also, you need to tape off the good melamine or it will change the sheen of those surfaces. It recommends a specific solvent, which of course I don't have, but I found acetone works pretty well for cleaning off residue (after scraping with a knife)...but do yourself a favor and tape off a clean line.I thought this might be a revelation that would allow me to invisibly seam 2 pieces of melamine together, but unfortunately, it is not. If I had time, I would probably just fill the chips with my regular wood putty and paint the whole thing with plastic paint.

So easy to use. I had slashes--like from knives-- on my Formica. I put a small amount on a paper plate, stirred it with a toothpick until it got thick--just a few seconds. Then, I painted it with the toothpick--using a stroking motion. It dried within 10 minutes. I put a bit too much but used a clean sandpaper block n gently brushed it until smooth. Within a few hours, it was perfect! You couldn't even see where the original mark was. I used the same technique for other marks. I was very happy n very impressed!

Used this to camouflage a gap in our countertops! Product worked great, and made a huge difference! Was a little tricky to work with at first, but once I figured out how quickly I had to work with it, it got easier!
