Rivo vs. Domo — Which to Choose
- Rivo (this product) — straw color base; knife-grade; for warm-toned stone repairs and bonding where a straw-colored adhesive blends better than white

- Engineered quartz and engineered stone

- Ensure surfaces are completely dry, clean, and free of dust and debris

- Apply in a thin layer immediately after mixing — do not return mixed adhesive to the original container
- Allow to fully cure, then grind flush and polish to match surrounding stone
- Clean tools with acetone or butyl acetate before adhesive cures
- Seal containers tightly after use; store between 65°F–77°F; 2-year shelf life
