How do I repair cracks in terrazzo?

Small cracks in a terrazzo floor can be repairs as follows:

Clean the crack with acetone, making sure to remove all dirt, old wax and other debris. A dental pick is helpful in removing old wax buildup. After the crack is cleaned you will notice that it is not as noticeable as before. Most of the time cracks stand out because you are seeing the dirt imbedded in them. Fill the crack with a clear polyester glue. abracadabra, the crack disappears.

CAUTION Use extreme caution when working with acetone. Acetone is flammable and you should avoid smoking and using electrical tools when in use.
