It is also ideal for structural strengthening of natural stone and concrete. Akabond is solvent-free, high penetrating epoxy which can be polished to a beautiful sheen after curing. All Akabond Epoxy products can be colored with our epoxy coloring pastes to match the color of virtually any stone. Available in quart size.

  When the load may reach 2000 lbs. of solid granite, you need a truck that has something extra. Our monument trucks have four 12" pneumatic tires, a 1/4" thick steel toe plate, and balanced so you never feel the load. With or without brakes. Both have no-mar vinyl facing on toe.

Filler Tips:

"During the cooler temperatures, it takes filler longer to dry for the best

adhesive quality. To help, either allow more drying time or add a fan/heat lamp

to the production line."
