Resin Fillers : DIY

[@rosskstar]

Q-cell is mentioned in a NYT article today as one of the softest sands in existence. Hollow silica or summat

[@andrewseeker6970]

Did you mix the hardner in these mixtures?

[@MarcRademacher]

What would be best to fill end reinforce inside plywood corners that will be fiberglass’s later?

[@Acupunctureprofessionals]

Can you explain the proportions of the mix you talked about with q-cell plus a little fumed silica and some wax surfactant. Thanks!

[@FiberglassFlorida]

Let me see if I can get that info from Cam.

[@lucasgiustazzo4162]

Hello, thank you very much for the video, really very interesting, I wanted to ask you a question. when I load the epoxy resin with aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, they remain at the bottom, which I can add to the resin so that this does not happen and they are well incorporated into the resin

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

You need finer particle sizes and/or another agent like cab-o-sil (fumed silica) to thicken it more while it's in a liquid state. Aluminum powder will also thicken it pretty well if you don't care about weight.

Duuuuuuuddddeeee thank you

[@FiberglassFlorida]

You got it!

[@markthomasson5077]

Is the silica ok below waterline

[@dudeleboski2692]

Could you please show how to repair/apply gel coat?

[@FiberglassFlorida]

Dude Leboski we posted a gel coat repair video not to long ago. Check it out! He walks you though the whole process

[@punziracing]

@@FiberglassFlorida In that repair video, do you recall if he was using a laminating resin?

[@noncched6839]

I have about 20 holes in the original fiberglass of an old transom im working on. Whould i use the aerofill mixed with resin to fill those holes?

[@mychaelmitchell4632]

You could use resin with milled fibers and aerosil thickened to a nice paste. You need to counter sink the holes a bit around the edge to fill in nicely. Like he said at the end you can also take some gel coat and cover each at the end.

It was a great video well explained however the background music killed it, we tried to see the subtitles we had to keep rewinding we watched this in our boat club and 97% of our club said the background music spoilt it

[@infinixhotnote3667]

What u use to chop strand?

[@callmedragon5321]

He was right about getting those masks while you can

[@FiberglassFlorida]

Right! Who would have known

[@renzlluisma193]

is it necessary to use hardener?

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

If you want it to harden, yeah...

[@PA96704]

What is equivalent to micro balloons?

[@spaceshipearth999]

I don't think that mask is effective protection from the fumes.
