So cool to learn from the other trades 🔨

What happens here

Apply a thick, light-colored adhesive (possibly epoxy or polyester resin with filler) into the seam between two granite countertop pieces using a putty knife or trowel. Spread a generous amount over the seam area on the surface. Then, use a scraping tool to remove the bulk of the wet excess adhesive, leaving a thinner film. Finally, wipe the surface clean with a paper towel to remove any remaining residue.

Goal: Fill the seam with adhesive and remove major excess.
