How to use DUSH ARENA PRO.
Follow these steps for best results.
Dry-fit all inlay pieces into the design before mixing adhesive. Mark any pieces needing adjustment. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry.
Mix ARENA PRO 2:1 and apply to the substrate or inlay pieces. Position each element carefully within the extended open time.
Allow full cure before any grouting, grinding or polishing. Final hardness is achieved after 24 hours — do not disturb during this time.
Pro tips & common mistakes.
Do This
- Always back-butter large marble slabs for 100% contact coverage
- Check substrate flatness with a straight edge before starting
- Mix powder adhesive with clean water only — never with additives unless specified
- Maintain a joint of at least 3mm around room perimeters for expansion
- Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place off the floor
Avoid This
- Apply adhesive to a substrate with standing water or visible dampness
- Use a trowel notch that is too small for the tile size
- Set tiles into adhesive that has already begun to skin over
- Allow adhesive to freeze on the substrate or on the tile during curing
- Ignore the open time — always work within the declared window
Why DUSH ARENA PRO works.
Extended Working Time
Slow-set formula gives craftsmen the time needed to position intricate inlay pieces precisely without rushing.
Colour-Matchable
Available in a range of shades and compatible with pigments for colour-matched joints in multi-stone inlay work.
Inlay & Medallion Specialist
Formulated for the precise, gap-filling requirements of decorative medallion and waterjet-cut inlay designs.
Chip-Resistant Final Cure
The cured joint has sufficient flexibility to resist chipping at thin inlay edges — a common failure point with brittle adhesives.
Multi-Surface Bond
Bonds marble to marble, marble to glass tesserae and marble to metal inlay elements in the same application.

Inlay designs use small, precision-cut pieces with very little adhesive contact area per piece. Standard adhesives don't provide enough bond strength per unit area, and fast-set adhesives don't give craftsmen enough time to position pieces accurately. DUSH ARENA PRO solves both problems with its high-strength, slow-set formula.
