Product notes
Custom Building Products CEG-Lite Part A Epoxy Grout BONE # 382, 1.3 lb
This is a 1.3 lb container of CEG-Lite Part A epoxy grout in Bone #382. It is a lightweight, 100 percent solids epoxy grout that includes recycled content and can contribute to LEED certification, with a smooth consistency for easier spreading. For tile or stone joints where you want stain and chemical resistance, this product addresses that need with a smaller container footprint. The limitation is the size: at 1.3 lb, you will need enough containers for larger areas. The Part A label means this is one component of the grout system, so account for the full system when planning your mix.
Pc Products Pc-Concrete Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive Paste For Anchoring And Crack
This two-part epoxy adhesive paste is positioned for anchoring and crack repair in concrete. It is a 1:1 ratio, 100 percent solids, high-modulus structural epoxy gel that is solvent-free, low-odor, and moisture-insensitive. It also has a high heat deflection temperature of 134°F, which makes it appropriate for warmer service environments. The unit quantity is 3 oz, so this is a small-format product; larger anchoring jobs will need multiple units. Because it is a two-component system, you need to use both components together. For a contained repair or anchor setting, this is a specialized, high-strength option.
Diamond Products Heavy Duty 2 Inch Core Bore Bit - Used Very Good Condition
This used 2-inch core bit is in very good condition and is intended for drilling hard concrete, block, brick, masonry, and similar materials. The blade material is diamond, and the product is suited to reinforced concrete, brick walls, air conditioning installation, and outdoor projects like road signs and expressway work. If your job is to produce a 2-inch cored hole, this product is a direct match. The main limitation is that it is a used item rather than a new one, so the actual cutting surface will determine performance. It is also a single 2-inch bit, so it only fits applications that require that exact hole diameter.
Larsen Products - Weld-Crete (Gallon) - Bond new concrete
The Larsen Products Weld-Crete gallon is the original chemical concrete bonding agent. It is formulated with polyvinyl acetate homopolymer and is designed to bond new concrete, stucco, tile setting beds, and terrazzo to any structurally sound surface, interior or exterior. The gallon size is well suited to a single coating step before a concrete pour. The limitation is that a gallon is a fixed amount; larger or multiple pours require extra gallons. This product is a bonding agent, so it should not be confused with a structural epoxy or a grout. It solves the specific problem of helping fresh cementitious material stick to an existing surface.
Final recommendation by use case
- Tile grouting: choose the Custom Building Products epoxy grout if your next step is filling tile joints.
- Anchoring or crack repair: choose the PC Products epoxy adhesive paste if you are setting anchors or repairing concrete cracks.
- Core drilling: choose the Diamond Products core bore bit if you need to make a core hole in masonry or concrete.
- Bonding fresh concrete: choose the Larsen Products Weld-Crete if you are about to place new concrete against an existing surface.
Because each item solves a different task, the final pick comes down to your project type rather than a single winner. Match the product to your immediate next step and the listed price will make sense for the scope.
