Description
Extended working time for complex countertop installations. Tenax FixTop FixDeck is a slow-curing two-part epoxy thinset engineered for bonding stone, ceramic, and porcelain to plywood substrates — particularly countertop installations where the additional open time is needed to position large slabs, adjust alignment, or work through complex layouts before the adhesive sets.
FixDeck delivers the same structural bond strength as standard Fixtop but with a longer working window, giving installers the time needed to get the job right. Smooth, trowel-friendly consistency for easy application and full coverage. Once cured, the bond is strong yet slightly flexible — resistant to water and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications including shower surrounds.
