While tiling the ceiling of the shower, one of the tiles fell and missing my protective covering, put a ding right in the middle of the curb at the door. Not big, about half the size of a pencil eraser. Any thoughts on how to at least, diminish the ding?

From a scrap piece of PVC pipe or elbow whittle a piece to fill the ding. 3. Use PVC glue to seal the piece into the ding. 4. After it hardens, trim away burrs or rough edges. Like building a plastic model airplane. __________________ The disadvantages of crab apple trees. In summer, the apples are too sour to pick and eat.
