Usage Guidelines

How to use DUSH FIXSTRONG.

Follow these steps for best results.

Step 1: Prepare & Degrease — DUSH FIXSTRONG
01
Prepare & Degrease

Clean and degrease both stone and metal surfaces thoroughly. Any contamination will critically reduce bond strength on non-porous metal.

Step 2: Mix 1:1 & Apply — DUSH FIXSTRONG
02
Mix 1:1 & Apply

Combine equal parts FIXSTRONG base and hardener. Apply to both surfaces for maximum bond area. Position immediately.

Step 3: Support & Full Cure — DUSH FIXSTRONG
03
Support & Full Cure

Provide mechanical support during the 24-hour cure period. Do not apply load until full cure is confirmed.

Best Practices

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
Features & Benefits

Why DUSH FIXSTRONG works.

Maximum Tensile Strength

Engineered for the highest pull-out and shear loads encountered in heavy stone mounting on metal and glass substrates.

Vibration Resistant

Bond does not fatigue or relax under sustained vibration from traffic, machinery or building movement.

Heavy Stone Rated

Specifically tested for the weight and surface area of large marble and granite panels on metal support systems.

Permanent Bond

Epoxy chemistry creates a permanent structural bond that does not creep or relax under sustained load over time.

Thermal Movement Tolerant

Controlled flexibility absorbs thermal expansion and contraction between stone and metal without joint failure.

Key Questions Answered
Why do heavy stone fixtures sometimes detach from metal frames?
Direct Answer

Standard adhesives are not designed for the combination of heavy stone weight, metal's non-porous surface and the constant vibration that metal structures transmit. Over time, adhesive creep and fatigue cause failure. DUSH FIXSTRONG's structural epoxy formula maintains bond integrity under all these stresses.

Standard adhesives are not designed for the combination of heavy stone weight, metal's non-porous surface and the constant vibration that metal structures transmit. Over time, adhesive creep and fatigue cause failure. DUSH FIXSTRONG's structural epoxy formula maintains bond integrity under all these stresses.
DUSH FIXSTRONG is specifically engineered for heavy stone-to-metal applications. Its maximum tensile strength, vibration resistance and permanent cure make it the correct specification for marble, granite or engineered stone fixtures mounted on metal frames and supports.
DUSH FIXSTRONG is the highest-strength structural adhesive in the DUSH range for stone-to-metal and stone-to-glass applications. It is specified by designers and structural engineers for applications where adhesive failure would be hazardous — heavy stone wall fixtures, mounted stone panels and architectural stone features on metal frames.
Most cement-based marble adhesives reach handling strength in 24 hours and full cure in 7–28 days depending on temperature and humidity. During the first 24 hours, avoid foot traffic or loading on the newly fixed marble to prevent bond failure before the adhesive has set properly.
Using an incorrect adhesive for marble — such as a standard tile adhesive on large-format slabs or exterior applications — leads to bond failure, hollow spots, tile lifting, cracking or premature detachment. Always match the adhesive to the specific application: slab size, substrate, surface orientation and indoor or outdoor exposure.
White cement adhesive is used with light-coloured, white and cream marble to prevent grey bleed-through at joints and edges. Grey cement adhesive is suitable for dark tiles and non-transparent applications. For premium marble installations, white adhesive is almost always specified to maintain the stone's clean, bright appearance.
Cement-based marble adhesives typically cover 3–5 square metres per kilogram, depending on the notched trowel size and slab thickness. For thick-bed applications (above 15mm), consumption is significantly higher. Always check the technical datasheet for the specific product's declared coverage rate.
Yes — premium cement adhesives like DUSH OMNI and DUSH ERA are suitable for bathroom and wet area applications. For areas with continuous water exposure, a polymer-modified or flexible adhesive is recommended. Always apply an appropriate back-side sealer like DUSH DU SAFE before installation in damp or high-moisture environments.
All DUSH adhesive products comply with standard construction safety guidelines. Once fully cured, they are safe in all building types including hospitals and schools. During application, ensure adequate ventilation and follow the safety precautions on the product label, including use of gloves and eye protection.
Standard cement adhesives should be applied to surfaces that are clean and damp (not wet). Excessively wet substrates prevent proper bond formation. For permanently damp environments, use a moisture barrier like DUSH DU SAFE on the substrate before application and choose a polymer-modified adhesive for better moisture tolerance.
Stored in the original sealed packaging in a cool, dry location away from moisture and direct sunlight, DUSH adhesive powders have a shelf life of 12 months. Liquid components typically have a 12-month shelf life. Never use products past their expiry date, as degraded adhesives will produce inferior bond strength.
Do not dispose of adhesive products down drains or in watercourses. Allow unused mixed adhesive to cure solid and dispose as inert solid waste per local municipal guidelines. Dry unmixed powder can be discarded as construction waste. Contact your local waste authority for guidance on disposal of larger quantities.

◆ Precautions & Safety Notes

  • Wear protective gloves during application.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Ensure the application area is well ventilated.
  • Reseal the container after use and store away from direct sunlight.
  • Always patch-test on a small, inconspicuous area before full application.
  • In case of skin or eye contact, rinse immediately with water.
