Found a chip on my XL - Will this develop into an issue later? Picture included.

Hey Everyone, I found a chip when I re adjusted my bands to fix an underbite. I am wondering if this will lead to a further issue or is it just cosmetic? The XL is pretty thick but I am not sure how ceramic response when there is a chip. See picture.

So the ceramic will hold up? What about water absorption?

The first picture is the right one, the chip is on the base.

Any touch up paint in particular?

Ask your dealer, I had a blemish on my new egg at Christmas and got the paint from mine. It comes from BGE . You can also email BGE that photo to go on record if you like. I live in the north and know how potholes grow. Water gets in, freezes, cracks, voila, you have a bigger hole! Seal it with the touch up soon. You could also investigate using porcelain repair paint as a base coat first but I've not done that.
good luck to you. -
Any idea where I can get it online?

Okay, I'll reach out to my dealer

That is a warranty issue (unless you caused the damage). Could get MUCH worse.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
