Granite Crack Repair
Granite Crack Repair
(OP)
See the attached picture. This is an approximately 36" long crack in a 6" thick vertical piece of granite. Can anyone suggest an appropriate epoxy to repair it? Whatever product that I end up specifying, will be exposed to temperatures in the winter of around -10 degrees below zero Fahrenheit to about 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. I am leaning toward grinding the crack with a chaser diamond blade on an angle grinder and caulking it to allow the crack to move. The owner wants an epoxied crack and wants the crack to be hard to detect.
We believe that ice caused the stone to crack. The crack was not there for 70 years.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Is the granite a thin veneer on some other material?

There is a capstone on top of a wall at the bottom of the photo. This cap was removed and is setting at the bottom left of the photo. The granite piece that is cracked, does have a structural concrete support behind it. I included another picture for reference.

Any idea of what caused the cracking and has that been remedied? Also with restoration stuff, I've seen repairs in a contrasting material to show that the areas have been repaired.
