Ikea pragel worktop - black stone-effect. Which colour-fill to use?

pinkladyjune11

Hello,
We have ordered the Ikea Pragel black stone-effect worktop, but just found out that Ikea don't do colour-fills.

Has anyone had this worktop and if so, do you know which colour of colour-fill from B & Q, Homebase etc might match?
Our worktop does not arrive until tomorrow, and even when it does, we won't be able to take the worktop to the shop to check colours (obviously!) so would be most grateful for advice from anyone who has installed this worktop. Kitchen being fitted next week so need to get the colour-fill asap!

Would be grateful for any help - many thanks!

When you get the worktop delivered, you should get some edging tape in there (to cover any exposed ends) so you can take that to B&Q etc. and match up...

I assume this it to join the two worktops? When I fitted my grey numera worktop from Ikea, the join was perfect and I just used clear silicon in the join to ensure it was water tight (the cut was done using a jig and router hired from HSS). There was no need to fill anything. Perhaps colour fill is needed to hide a bad job?

Unfortunately Ikea worktops don;t come with (and they don't sell) matching edging strips either!
Our fitter has advised that we need colour-fill so I am hoping it is not just in the case of a bad job! Will just buy a selection of balck stone type ones from homebase and tell him to use the one which matches best!

Thanks for your help everyone.
