west system 403 microfibers

Post by Jeremysxx »

Can I put this in any epoxy resin? I have some resin from Lowe's and need some type of filler. Are there other options out there. I'm repairing a lead keel.

I have used just about everything but the kitchen sink in epoxy resin with my repairs, including the colloidal silica and small pieces of fiberglass cloth and the shards of fiberglass cloth that shred off when cutting it. That said, I am a huge fan of the West System products. They were really good to work with and the support team that you can call will answer any questions you might have. They were particularly helpful to me in getting the right solvents for thinning the various epoxy and paint products I was using.
