Has anyone ever had an epoxy joint on onyx turn pink? Customer is having this problem and we are trying to find a clue as to why...

Congratulations and good luck, Adam. And don't be a stranger, stay in touch!

Greetings All, We at Bonstone have developed a new product that we think would be of interest to many of you. It’s a truly unique adhesive called Touchstone Glacier. • Do you use Thassos or Carrera or any of the other light-colored marbles? • Do you have issues with the dark “halo” effect (dark line...

VOC and odor are two separate things. You can have a product that's technically zero-voc, but smells bad. (Don't ask me to explain, it has to do with with government definitions. Sorta like "depends on what your definition of "is", is...") But, regardless.... our Touchstone epoxies are very low odor...

Thanks Guy, for fixing the Youtube video!

And yes, any enhancers (like Ager) should be applied prior to the Hyrdoseal 300 and CA glue.

We have a product that prevents this. Visit here for a 1-minute video that demonstrates: http://youtu.be/Mr7acGDGHJc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr7acGDGHJc http://www.bonstone.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=73 Mike Beckmann Bonstone Materials Corp. http://www.bonstone.com 800-425-2214

Thanks for all the great responses! I would like to send everyone a series of pictures/brochures/etc that describe the product--but I'm not smart enough to figure out how to post all that here at one time, without posting multiple times. So, if you could please PM me with your e-mail address I'll se...

YOU asked and we LISTENED! At the recent SFA class in Collinsville there was a great demand expressed for our Express II Flowing Epoxy in a cartridge system. Well, we listened and created a new packaging option for you - a 450 ml cartridge. Express II is a unique epoxy for the countertop fabricator-...

Bonstone here, We have been supplying epoxies for exterior use for nearly 50 years. As a matter of fact, that's where we began--outdoors.

I've been told that the accelerator used with CA glue reacts with something in the stone. You are correct, Sir! The accelerators contain an ingredient called dimethyl-para-toluidine ("DMPT")--this chemical is the same chemical that makes polyesters cure so quickly. Obviously, it does the same thing...

We have a solution to this problem. A new product--we will be introducing it at the St. Louis show. Stay tuned....

Cameron, 1. Our tints (polyester-based) can be used for all of our products: our Epoxies, our Polyesters, and our Last Patch products. I'm not sure about the compatibility of other's "polyester" tints--not sure what exactly is in them, so we can't be sure they'll work. Your best bet is to use our ti...

Bonstone here.... I'm not familiar with these products, so I have to plead a little ignorance here.... But, something north of 90% of glue failures are due to substrate issues (improper surface prep, contamination, etc.). So it IS possible (depending on the chemical nature of the products) for them ...
