New material/fake-resin to work with.

Howdy y'all!

So, Not sure if this is the right are to post this, but here goes:

I was working on a way of making a large amount of tough viscous filler so I could past it on and not have it be too runny or set too fast to fill a large mount of area.

By accident, I happened to have my 3lb can of Durhams water putty and my gallon jug of Elmer's next to it. I decided to test a mixture, and while doing so, it occurred to me that the Elmer's stays liquid in bottle by way of water, and some other things, and Durhams is activated by adding water.

I did a 1:1 mixture and the stuff set overnight, and it feels like tough plastic. It's sandable, non-toxic, no fumes, and it's easy to clean while still wet.

I'm gonna try making some more stuff with it, but I thought people should know if they can't afford epoxy, or have a place to use it. It can function as a cheap alternative to Bondo, maybe. I still need to check it out a bit more, but as far as I can tell, the stuff works brilliant!

Cheers!

Nice, I like where this is going! I just happen to have both of those things in my work room, so I'll try it out. I can't work with resin/fiberglass/bondo with my current setup, so a solid, fume-free alternative would be fantastic.

I've only done the mix in small amounts, approx 4 table spoons of each, and applied it after mixing it thoroughly.

Here's a hint, put the Durhams in first, then cover it with the elmers, makes less of a powdery mess.

Cheers!

a guy did this in germany with an iron man helmet, if i remember right after he used a water based non toxic resin, he then used this stuff to work out the mishaps, so it could be a good filler/ alternative to bondo, it would be cool to see some of this work in action siyoum3434, do you have a info or pics working with this stuff? what materials will this work on etc?
