Description
The targeted solution for blue and green CA adhesive bloom on stone. Tenax TeBlossom is a 2-part chemical poultice kit specifically formulated to remove the blue or green discoloration — commonly called "bloom" — that can appear on stone surfaces after using cyanoacrylate-based chip repair adhesives and activators. This kit contains TeBlossom only, making it the right choice when you need targeted bloom removal without an additional organic stain remover.
Need to also tackle oil, grease, wine, or other organic stains? Consider the TeBlossom & TeClean Kit, which bundles TeBlossom with TeClean Poultice Powder for complete stain coverage in one package.
What Is Bloom?
"Bloom" is the blue or green staining that can occur on stone surfaces when cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesive activators — like those used in chip repair kits — react with the stone or surrounding material. It's a common frustration for fabricators and installers, and standard cleaners typically can't remove it. TeBlossom uses a targeted 2-part chemical reaction to lift and neutralize the bloom without etching or damaging the stone surface.
How to Use
- Combine the 2 TeBlossom components and mix to a toothpaste-like consistency.
- Apply the poultice directly over the bloom-stained area.
- Cover with plastic wrap and puncture several small holes with a toothpick to allow slow drying.
- Leave in place for 24–48 hours until fully dried.
- Remove the dried poultice — the bloom stain will be drawn out with it.
- Rinse the surface clean and inspect. Repeat if necessary for stubborn staining.
Note: Calcium-based stones (marble, travertine, limestone) may etch during treatment and require re-polishing after use.
