Superior Stone Products Epoxy E-1000 & E-1010 – 2-Quart Unit, E-1010, Knife Grade
Superior Stone Products Epoxy E-1000 & E-1010 – 2-Quart Unit, E-1010, Knife Grade
The Superior Stone Products Epoxy E-1010 is the knife grade paste version of Superior's 1:1 transparent epoxy, supplied as a 2-Quart Unit of one quart Part A epoxy plus one quart Part B amine hardener.
Key Features
- Mix ratio 1:1 by volume, Part A to Part B; 1.15 parts A to 1.0 part B by weight.
- Knife grade paste, so it holds its shape in a miter or a vertical seam instead of running.
- Gel time 5 to 10 minutes; cure time 2 to 4 hours.
- Kit contents: one quart of Part A and one quart of Part B. Superior also publishes the line in a 2-Gallon Unit.
- Transparent two-component system for laminating, rodding, and crack and chip repair, with no published substrate restriction.
Who Is This For?
Fabricators building miters and laminated edges and filling chips, who need a transparent epoxy that can be knifed into place and left. The 2-Quart Unit is the smaller of Superior's two published kit sizes and suits shops mixing to the job rather than to the day.
What This Is Not For
A knife grade paste will not run into a rod channel or a tight hairline on its own, so it is the wrong grade where the epoxy has to flow and level; the Superior Stone Products Epoxy E-1000 & E-1010 - 2-Quart Unit, E-1000, Flowing is the syrup version of the same 1:1 system. It is also a fabrication epoxy rather than a setting epoxy and should not be used to bond stone or tile to plywood, backer board, concrete or masonry - use the Superior Stone Products E-1500-S Tile & Stone Setting Epoxy there.
