Test results indicated that by adding reinforced rod to cutouts, significantly strengthens the stone by 50% in load and 600% in deflection.
Although it is not always necessary it is recommended by the Marble Institute of
America.

Turn the stone upside down and cut a trench. |
|
Prepare the trench by removing all debris and mixing up the epoxy. |
|
Pack the trench with both the epoxy and the fiberglass rod reinforcement. |
|
Remove all excess epoxy and wipe to a smooth surface. |

Reinforced rod is used at all large sink hole and cooktop cut-outs. Because we remove most of the structure we reinforce it by adding fiberglass rod. Depending on what type of stone and cut-out, depends on what type of reinforced rod. |
