polyester resin
used at Carnegie Hall mixed w/ crushed granite at locations in vicinity of
marquee, looked good then
in hands of talented craftsperson looks good, untalented looks like Parrot
guano
I've used the stuff for 20+ years
used a lot in mainstream STONE industry to glue stones together ie. 1.5 inch
granite veneer w/ corner butts glued & pinned
it may discolor w/ UV, like turn yellow
you mix it w/ a catalyst... fun to add too much catalyst in a Coke can w/ top
cut off... stuff gets hot enough to start fires
I met the Akemi CEO once in Acapulco at BSI convention
their primary market is in Auto Body putties, histo presto ain't on their
radar
used to be you could buy the stuff @ Jaeger & Condino in Queens, but I
suspect the phone is disconnected
I don't recommend for sandstone or limestone
