hello new at the forum, tiler from Norway.. ;) seems like you know your way around miters and I'm trying to wrap my head round which product to youse to glue porcelain miters together for a seamless corner.. The Akemi colour bond looks like the easiest way but is that the best way..?? I have never heard about or seen any miter corner like this in Norway so it's difficult to get any info about this in Norway.. I have been a tiler for almost 20 years and have over 1000 bathrooms under my belt so know how to hold a grinder.. ;)
If you’re going to bond porcelain mitres together you’ll need an epoxy surface bonding resin.
Akemi 5010 will bond them together, polyesters only fill the joint.
5010 comes clear, mix with universal or specific epoxy colourants to achieve desired colour effect.
Do not use polyester colours.

the Akemi 5010 takes along time to set and is not the most ideal resin for porcelain mitres , integra surface bonder and akemi colour bond are almost identical products , same gun is used for both products just the nozzles are different , If you can get either the colour bond or the integra surface bonder these are the best products i have used do far , polyester resins work far better with marble and granites
