epoxy thickener
I have been working on Minicup #2 but ran out of colloidal silica
epoxy thickener and do not feel like driving all the way across town to West marine. So, I recalled some discussions about using talcum powder or wood flour for this purpose. First, I used some of my wifes powder till she found out and blew a gasket over it. I checked, powder is expensive, makes the boat smell funny too. Then, I recalled cornstarch is used as a thicken er for stews and soups and I had a little and it worked fairly well. When it ran out, I used regular flour, it does not work as well but is ok. I wonder if I could mix a bug killer like Sevin dust with it to help preserve the wood. |
