"finish" well?
My one experience with the material was to stabilize the stone I
was carving an ionic capital from. The marble wanted to part at
a line of color change, and having many hours into the piece at
the time , I wasn't about to let that happen. We applied it
with a brush and let it soak in, gave it 24 hours and started
carving again. No further problems with the stone, and the
epoxy finished to the same degree as the stone, so it was like
an invisible repair. I have watched them in a production
facility flood the entire surface of a sawed slab, and sometimes
repeat the application several times depending on the nature of
the material, prior to finishing the surface, and if one didn't
know the epoxy was there, one would think the finished and
polished surface was only stone. The material is highly
viscous, and will seek out any cracks and fissures as gravity
drags it through the stone. JVC
