What would you use to repair some chips on a melamine board edge?

I was thinking about using some West epoxy with some filler and white pigment.

Might work, depends on the quality of the repair you need. I might try to search the manufacturer website for a repair product made specifically for repairs. Matching White is a dark art sometimes!

We use something called seam-fil. It's purely cosmetic, but super easy to work. I like to over fill my blemish, then smooth it out with a dab of lacquer thinner on my finger.

Seamfil 901 is white if I remember correctly.

Mohawk white fil-stik is something I use to hide chipout from the blade.

White liquid correction fluid from the office. Costs about a dollar if you buy the expensive stuff. Been using it for decades. If it's a bigger chip, fill it with auto body filler then touch up. Cheers
