Superior Stone Products Gold Stone Adhesive – Gallon, GV-5, Knife Grade
The Superior Stone Products Gold Stone Adhesive in GV-5 knife grade is a styrene-free knife grade stone adhesive supplied in a gallon, item 200-30010-12, and cured with Superior's white paste hardener (BPO).
Key Features
- Gallon container of the GV-5 knife grade, published by Superior's distributor as SP-200-30010-12.
- GV-5 sits in the middle of Superior's three-grade Gold line: GV-1, GV-5, GV-9.
- Cured with Superior's white paste hardener (BPO), sold separately, and Superior instructs users to use only its own hardener.
- Superior states the Gold formulation contains no styrene.
- The same GV-5 grade is published in quart, gallon, 5 gallon pail and Big Box, so a shop can step up container size without changing grade.
Who Is This For?
Fabrication shops running Gold as their day-to-day knife grade adhesive and going through more than a quart at a time, but not enough to justify a pail or a Big Box. The gallon is the mid-point of the four published Gold containers.
What This Is Not For
Knife grade paste does not flow, so it is the wrong grade for rodding channels and hairline pours; the Superior Stone Products Epoxy E-1000 & E-1010 - 2-Quart Unit, E-1000, Flowing covers that work. It is also not a setting product for bonding stone or tile to plywood, backer board, concrete or masonry, where the Superior Stone Products E-1500-S Tile & Stone Setting Epoxy applies. A shop opening more than a can a week is buying the wrong size - the Superior Stone Products Gold Stone Adhesive - Big Box, GV-5, Knife Grade holds five gallons.
