Epoxy bleeding into white marble
Wondering if anyone out here knows a way to draw out the bleeding or minimize it. We have an Island that has a small spot on the mitered edge that looks to have bleed into the marble. Also what epoxy is everyone using on mitered white marble?

Re: Epoxy bleeding into white marble
we have been using the touchstone glacier for marble ( and other stones) and we like it.one of the reasons i like the glacier over the glax is that the mixing ratio is not as critical. we also use integra magic for seams.

We have been using Integra Transparent White, it already comes mixed and does not bleed. It works perfect for marble miters and laminations.

Re: Epoxy bleeding into white marble
Thanks i will do some R&D on these. How about drawing out bleeding of a piece already made?

Re: Epoxy bleeding into white marble
We switched to Bonstone Touchstone Glacier. It's a urethane. Doesn't bleed and is UV/moisture stable.

Re: Epoxy bleeding into white marble
Hit the bleed lightly with a torch and immediately wipe with acetone. I've minimized some bleeding using that method... We use Tenax Crystal for white marble miters exclusively, but we just hit the edge with a bit of sealer first to stop this from happening. And we miter a ton of white marble.
