TOPIC: Homemade Fairing Material

I like to make my own Fairing material. Gives me a longer working time and more flexibility in the consistency of the mix. I usually start with 1/2 cup of poly laminating resin, a heaping tablespoon of Cabosil and then mix glass bubbles till I get the consistency I'm looking for. Usually something like mayonaise. If I'm working upside down, I might go a bit thicker. I then add the MEKP at about a 1% ratio. This will give me a reasonable working time and still allow the resin to set up hard. This mix fills and sands like a dream. Try it, I think you'll like it.

Great info thanks for that. Have to put that away for later for sure!

I love micro bubbles. It is amazing how so few people know about them. Thanks for the tips!.
