Tenax StrongEdge Express
Tenax StrongEdge EXPRESS, the strongest clear, epoxy specifically designed for fabrication and lamination. Once applied on a countertop, the stone or substrate will not delaminate or break where Tenax StrongEdge EXPRESS has been applied! StrongEdge EXPRESS is the clearest epoxy on the market. Tenax StrongEdge EXPRESS does not shrink, it takes a polish, as well as accepts color to color match the stone if necessary. With a 2:1 mix ratio and a set time of about 40 minutes at 75 degrees, Tenax StrongEdge EXPRESS maintains the clearest epoxy with an express cure time, without losing its structural integrity. VOC Compliant

Instructions for use
Make sure the surface to be treated is dry, clean, and free of dust. The mixing ratio of resin to catalyst is 2:1 (see chart below). Use clean tools. Stir vigorously and apply. Do not place unused products back in the can. Make sure the cans are sealed tightly after use. To clean tools we suggest light solvents like acetone and butyl acetate.
