COLOR & ACTIVATE: Add 3%-5% GOLD EVOLUTION Colored Hardener (any color) by weight. A scale is recommended for accuracy. If mixing multiple colors, mix separately before adding to adhesive. At 70°F, the mixture stays workable for 3-5 minutes. High temps = less working time / Low temps = more working time. After 20 minutes, the adhesive will be fully cured and work can continue with the stone.
