Applications
For shop fabrication and repair where a non-flowing polyester is needed, including vertical stone joints. The gel time is the short working window; the later machining time must not be mistaken for available mixing time.
Selection and Use
- Bond only clean, dry, dust-free material. Mix the measured catalyst thoroughly.
- Adjust color before adding hardener and avoid excessive tint. Do not return catalyzed leftovers to the container.
- Keep resin and hardener closed in their original containers away from sunlight; review both safety sheets before use.
