Applications
For laminating, rodding and crack or chip repair in appropriate natural stone, particularly where amber or opaque adhesive would be conspicuous.
Selection and Use
- Use the specified MEKP catalyst; do not substitute the BPO paste used by other polyester formulations.
- Evaluate a cured sample on the stone before assuming the clear adhesive will disappear visually.
- Plan for the stated hours-long cure before finishing or loading the bond, even though gel occurs within minutes.
