I use this term a lot, so people understand. Picrel is a mitre, two slabs get installed with a 45 cut. Sometimes you are lucky and that gap is 2mm, other times it's a half inch of distance and you need to cover that up. Basically you mix your epoxy to the right color, tape off the two sides of the fill, slap some. Epoxy in there and then sand it all carefully to throw a round edge on it (since it's extremely sharp). You then smoothen it until it has a bit of sheen and soft to the touch. The hardest part is not hitting the face of the material. In picrel that's porcelain, hitting the face = removing the print, so it's really nerve wracking. With stone you know if you hit the face there's just more stone and you could in theory repair it, but with porcelain that's it, it's gone.
