Products featured in Episode 001 were:
– Stone-Weld epoxy (Stone-Weld is a clear flowing liquid epoxy adhesive that was specifically formulated to laminate marble and granite stone to itself and other numerous other surfaces. Stone-Weld is a two-component mix, which is a combination of two portions of PART A, and one portion of PART B (the hardener). Expect approximately 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours curing time at normal room temperature. Curing time will take longer in colder conditions and will also be accelerated in very warm working conditions where the ambient temperature exceeds 80°F.)

– Mod Podge glue (Mod Podge is one of the most popular decoupage glues available. Mod Podge is an all-in-one sealer, glue, and finish used for creating decoupaged works of art. It can be used for paper, wood, fabric, and other porous surfaces. Mod Podge is not food safe. It’s non-toxic, but becoming food safe requires a product to go through FDA approvals – not typical for art supplies.)
