Applications
For interior stone joints, filling and fabrication work requiring a knife-grade polyester. Select it for positional control, while allowing enough time after gel for the bonded piece to be worked.
Selection and Use
- Prepare clean, dry, dust-free stone. Weigh the paste hardener, mix thoroughly and use promptly.
- Add compatible color before the catalyst; excessive color can affect the adhesive.
- Do not put mixed leftovers back into the original container. Keep resin and catalyst closed and protected from sunlight.
