microbaloons same a laser toner?
"William R. Watt" writes: 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. Very doubtful but at about $0.60/lb for generic 7.5#/ft3 balloons, why bother? -- Lew S/A: Challenge, The Bullet Proof Boat, (Under Construction in the Southland) Visit: http://home.earthlink.net/~lewhodgett for Pictures |
