Verne:
<br>I came in on this thread late. Where do you get Cabosil?
It sounds like something I could use for a current repair on a glass fuselage.
Thanks.

<font size=+1>Cabosil is fumed silica
sand. It's extremely light weight. When mixed with epoxy finishing resin,
it creates a paste that won't run on vertical surfaces. It's also frequently
mixed with epoxy in a thinner mix and brushed into a mold to create the
external gel coat on a glass part which prevents pinholes from making it
to the surface of a part. On a clear epoxy-cloth piece, the epoxy/cabosil
mix can be seen in all the 90-degree corners to bridge the radius the cloth
can't make. It'll show as an opaque white as opposed to the clear epoxy/cloth
you see everywhere else. Down side is that it's much tougher to sand than
micro-balloons and has virtually no structural strength. Good stuff to
have around, though. I use it a lot.</font> <font size=+1>Verne</font>
