Superior Stone Products Gold Evolution – Big Box, EV-5, Knife Grade
The Superior Stone Products Gold Evolution in EV-5 knife grade is supplied in the Big Box, five gallons of uncolored base adhesive in a bag-in-box, colored and activated at the bench by Gold Evolution Colored Hardener.
Key Features
- Big Box holds five gallons; granquartz.com lists the sibling Gold Evolution Big Box items as '5 Gallon Big Box, UPS Ready'.
- EV-5 is the medium knife grade, between EV-1 flowing and EV-9 thick knife grade.
- Set time 3 to 7 minutes.
- Colored Hardener colors and activates the base in one step and is published in twenty colors; it is bought separately.
- Legacy 'Big Box - Standard' matches Superior's own container name, 'THE BIG BOX (Standard)'.
Who Is This For?
Shops consuming Gold Evolution base at production rate that need it shipped in rather than picked up, and that prefer drawing from a bag rather than opening a pail. The color is chosen per batch, so one box covers every stone the shop runs.
What This Is Not For
Five gallons of base is far more than an occasional user needs; the Superior Stone Products Gold Evolution - Quart, EV-5, Knife Grade is the bench size of the same grade. The base is also useless on its own - without Gold Evolution Colored Hardener it neither colors nor cures, and the 4 oz twenty-color assortment is the usual companion purchase.
