Are we being trolled?


Probably not... William is, well let's say, er, um, a forward thinker
who is always looking for the best and cheapest way of throwing
together boats, a noble quest. Sometimes taken a little too far in my
opinion, but not a troll, not on this group anyway Now if you are
an elitist paddler with a eurosnob attitude, he may just bite your ass
however, just my opinion.

I've never worked with or even seen the microbaloons used as filler in
resins on boats, but I've heard they are tiny clear plastic spheres. The
toner used in photocopiers and computer printers is also tiny plastic
spheres (to print they are melted into the paper). I was wondering if
laser toner could be used to thicken the resins. Laser toner, being
produced in large volumes would probably cost less than microbaloons. Just
a thought.
