have been giving the thread on epoxy repairs a bit of thought :doh: was involved with the build of a Vari Eeze [Bert Rutan ] design composite aircraft, some years ago and this was almost pre kevlar and all the exotic stuff we have today but my point is on reflection the addition of a "filler" I would have thought would add to the strength. The nature of FRP and all that has been derived from it since Wright Airfield 1944 [1st used I think] is for the particles ,filler, filings to bond together forming a "matrix" type effect hope this is not too far off fact this is my view, any comments.
Cheers Golfpin

Sorry forgot, my main point further to my blurb above. Part of the Vari eeze build was the use of a powder that was referred to as "micro balloon " this was a white powder that was mixed with the epoxy and then used as a filler and glue. Precursor to castor sugar, bi-carb powder we see used with super glue these days. Perhaps it was castor sugar or the like!!

I think body filler used to be polyester resin with ground marble mixed in? :scratch:
