talc and flour are used as thickenres in resins. the problem with scented
talc is the smell released when sanding. urea formaldehyde adehsive
(plastic resin marine glue) is sold as a powder which includes either
wheat or rye flour as a thickener.

One good reason I didn t just go to the store and buy powder is that
all I could find was scented. I can just imagine the inevitable
question from my wife, "Who have you been sailing with?" Furthermore,
it is fairly expensive.
Sevin dust is fairly cheap and supposedly innocuous to ppl but I didnt
like the idea. Even considered Ortho fire ant poison (remember, this
is Florida so it makes sense) but it stinks too much.

Every time I see these threads I just puke. Geeze guys, 6 bucks for a
bag of aerosil enough to do three to four small boats, this thread is
just rediculous...Scotty

In my view, Scotty, the issue isn't the six bucks for a bag of commercial
thickener.

I'm still trying to figure out how the guy is going to wash the black carbon
off the tiny beads used in toner. Let's see, open washing machine, pour in
five pounds of toner, one cup of detergent, set wash cycle to "delicate",
run the drain through a super-fine filter to catch the cleaned beads, and
buy five dozen long-stemmed roses to try to placate wife when she sees the
inside of the washing machine has turned black.
