- Blend of premium vinyl ester and modified acrylic resins, published as bonding both mechanically and chemically.

- One quart, item 200-10420-10.
Who Is This For?
Fabricators who found the smooth FV-5 too mobile for the work in front of them - a build-up, an edge, a vertical joint - and want the stiffer body without changing chemistry. The quart suits repair and edge work rather than continuous production.
What This Is Not For
A thicker paste will not run into a rod slot or a hairline on its own, so this is the wrong grade for pour-in work; Superior's V-MAX SV-1 is the syrup, pourable grade. Where the smoother of the two Fusion knife grades is wanted, the Superior Stone Products Fusion Stone Adhesive - Quart, FV-5, Smooth Knife Grade is the same resin in a lighter body, and bonding stone or tile down to plywood, backer board, concrete or masonry needs the Superior Stone Products E-1500-S Tile & Stone Setting Epoxy instead.
