David, good site with lots of useful info May be a silly question but .. it’s not the epoxy itself that’s dulling the effect? The figures can be sqeezed moderately and there is flexibility. Thanks for the entertainment! You agreed to send me a small sample and I sent you my postal address by email. I haven’t come across resins from Alumilite here in the UK .. I’ve already tried to add beeswax, oil and charcoal to make it less brittle and more flexible like plastic. and the resin is reacting a bit, producing carbon dioxide. Remember though that as a general rule resin will not like anything containing moisture or active chemicals. I’m afraid I don’t at the moment. I’ve updated the article in case you haven’t noticed. Will resin hold up to the weather and sun? I want to create a bio plastic which is flexible. Thanks for your reply David. . is not and will not become chemically active) can be used as a filler in both polyurethane and polyester resins. The straightest answer is .. no it doesn’t .. not as a rule, in fact it’s usually the opposite. I haven’t heard of this, but ‘beads’ is not wrong .. many fillers are micro-beads because this still allows liquid to flow. I was interested in the ‘black talc’ as you called it then. Mica is used for this purpose in many ‘metallic’ paints. Can you please tell me the procedure of adding Talc to manufacture polypropylene? It also contains no fillers and can be hand mixed or used with automated dispensing equipment. .. it’s similar to what you’re trying. also calcium carbonate but finer than the above. or does this texture have to be incorporated in the mold already. No, I haven’t worked very much with epoxy resin. This mixture is enclosed in a separate chamber. With Polyester and vinylester I would always brush a light coat of acetone over the cured fibreglass to “activate” or prime it.

I’m experimenting with Rosin. Another  of the main reasons for adding fillers is to make the cast material easier to machine or sand, in other words basically weakening it, and this is particularly true of polyurethane. Still experimenting with this. I need to make a grip for something but i think that when i will be molding and casting it in a regular fashion it will come out very shiny and slippery in the hand. Each will give a different result as far as sanding, strength, flowability, and weight. I am cold casting bronze statues of about 12″ high and could I add it to the gelcoat or slushcast as well? Almost like hard vinyl. One optic nerve was selected as a control and maintained at physiologic temperature, without any exposure to hyaluronic acid gel or hyaluronidase. but I have been getting bubbles in the product. I am working on Unsaturated polyester resin based capsules for under ground construction (Mines & Tunnels). Fillite used to be very economical price-wise but this has rocketed in recent years (e.g. All of the following are basically just different versions of calcium carbonate, either naturally occurring and processed, or manufactured. Either this, or you have to abrade the cast surface afterwards to matte it. I am no chemistry student, but I have developed an interest in making figurines as a hobby and also a business. On the whole almost anything which is completely dry and inert (i.e. Thoughts? I would like to add a filler that will allow an hour or so of working, have a pourable viscosity, maximise heat dispersion and not affect the magnetic and electrical properties of the generator. You can easily match the exact shade of the wood you are repairing with a stainable wood filler. The answer is to mix the filler with one part of the resin before adding the other part. My main worry is that the two won’t bond together and may separate over time. No there definitely won’t .. certainly shouldn’t! Additionally, I was wondering (since you don’t make email addresses public) could you forward this query to Mr. Van Daal? mixing process? Hello David But as far as I know a filler won’t make the resin surface matte .. the surface exposed to the air will still be shiny, at least I know it always is when using polyurethane resin. I think they’re just US. You will need to use either dedicated polyester pigments, dry powder pigment or oil colours. Do you know of a filler that would thicken either polyester resin or epoxy, yet be clear? I am thinking of making some children’s climbing holds using a foam and RTV silicone method as described on http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-your-own-climbing-holds/?ALLSTEPS . That sort of solves the query, doesn’t it? However, I still want to do a test using polyester resin (the previous was polyurethane) but I have to do this in my outside space and it’s too darn cold-n-soggy at the moment in London. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Omya BL-OG, for example, will affect resin viscosity less and can be added up to 40% before any major change, according to Tomps. yr very helpfull! I also gave very fine sand a try, it made the test piece strong and less brittle but the weight of the sand pulled down so the sand was visibly denser at the bottom of the mould. I can’t give you an answer because polypropylene is an ‘industrial’ plastic, a thermoplastic which needs industrial-scale heat and pressure to work with it. What do you mean by ‘multi-finish’? I am hoping to make durable terrain for miniature wargaming. Qcels also sand easier.

How to use of fillers in polyurethane resin casting ? All the best, Will Huntley, Hi Guys , It’s resin from the pine tree. As you know slushcasting or gelcoating takes a while, so I need to be sure if Talc will do the job. Dr. Preeti Gupta. Thanks. It’s not a plastic that can be used in a home or small studio situation .. as far as I know, only industrially .. therefore I can’t offer anything from experience. I haven’t received it yet, but when I do and if there are positive results I’ll post them here. Also, can further increase in specific gravity of filler may result in settling of filler at the bottom….? I don’t usually endorse spam or self-advertisement .. but thought this may just about fall into the ‘useful info’ category, even though I sincerely doubt that anyone reading this here would need a thousand kilos! Catalysing first and then mixing in filler will of course shorten the amount of time one has to work with the mixture. But many fillers such as Fillite and the various ‘glass bubble’ types have been developed with smooth or spherical particles, which means that they affect the flow and viscosity of resin much less. If you have questions about adding fillers to Polytek polyurethane casting resins, please get in touch with us: Call us at 800.858.5990. .. no, not a good idea to add talc to cold-casting gelcoat layer because I’m pretty sure this would dull down the metal effect achievable? what is the ratio of fly ash and polyurethane resin including hardner ? Easy Flo 60 works well with fillers as it is very low viscosity (60 CPS) and has a high impact resistance. I have been using titanium dioxide powder (white pigment) to make it white again, but i feel it comes out less natural then if i was able to preserve the marble dust natural color. Currently, we are using Baryte powder (200-300 mesh) as filler. Mixing plaster with this (if it’s advisable at all) would only diminish the metallic effect. Even though micro-sphere glass will lessen the density I tried it just to see if it would become clear in the resin, nope, it makes the resin white/opaque. Congratulations on your website, it was amazing to find all the information you have shared with the public. Here’s the brief entry in my ‘Polyester’ article in materials: Starbond EM-2000 is a gap filler super glue. Plastic Model Putty. Does adding a filler make resin stronger? But in terms of adding weight, it may be the cheapest but I would have thought there are heavier options, such as marble dust. No I haven’t tried casting plaster as a filler, partly because I would assume there may be problems because plaster isn’t chemically inert. When working with polyester resin it is often recommended that if a substantial amount of filler is used the percentage of catalyst added should be increased from the usual 1% to at least 2% (even up to 4% if mixing small volumes) in order to compensate for this and speed up the setting. I guess, unless you know different, a non-ferrous metal filler like copper filings would be required but what would be the effect on the other characteristics I require and how much filler would I be able to add per litre of resin? If you have any other ideas you’ll just have to test first .. and be prepared for unusual behaviour! Thank you for your help! Wish I waited for you’re comment before trying. .. otherwise it may not be viable as a filler. how will that affect potlife / cast? .. there’s potential here perhaps! The specific fillers can provide lower shrinkage, higher compressive strengths, better metal forming properties, or other characteristics suited to a particular use. thank You David for Reply, I have reduced the ratio to 220g polyurethane to 40g fillite but I am still getting bubbles even though I am using a vibrating machine. 1) Get a glass jar with a screw on metal lid. We also have a range of glass powders that also might be suitable as a functional fille rfor your resins systems. Thanks, Yes James, considering the efforts you’ve gone to already I’m surprised you haven’t heard of this .. thixotropic additive! I don’t want to invest in a lot of colorants. My impression is that the reason the marble dust turns out darker (more grey than white) it´s because it gets ‘wet’-like, soaked in resin, just like beach sand turns darker when wet. i want to avoid painting after the casting rather to cast all the small parts i.e eyes, teeth, magic wands, blushing cheeks etc with pigmented polyester resins and attaching with a glue(which type). Even glass microspheres will change the appearance. See my post on recycling or extending silicone. Obtainable tomps.com Cabosil £6.73 per 250g (price decreasing by bulk); easycomposites.co.uk fumed silica £4.74 per 45g. 2.

I would be most interested in your test results with the black talc. If it’s impossible to include a matting layer i.e. The reduction in shrinkage also stands to reason, but more so because in the total mix there’s less resin to shrink. Hello Shop online for 26 hobby and craft putty / filler at discounts up to 26%.Plastic is the most popular of the 3 hobby and craft putty / filler categories, then Wood, and Microballoon. Tiranti markets it as ‘synthetic onyx’ saying that it gives ‘excellent translucent qualities similar to onyx and some marbles’ when used with polyester resin. an industrial ash by-product, more specifically ‘microspheres’ of alumino-silicate. It has chemicals in it which might affect the resin. My question is what sort of texture and colour effect (when dyes area added) result when fillers are added. Fibre or ‘fibrous’ fillers are principally for adding strength, as is particularly the case with glass-fibre strands, but the finer ones can also serve as thickeners when mixing. failing to cure, remaining soft, ‘weeping’ in places, smelling more disagreeable than the less ‘friendly’ kind! No, I’m guessing this would not work .. that is, I know it wouldn’t work with polyester resin because the powdered Styrofoam would dissolve in it and no doubt affect the setting of the resin in the process. Good Afternoon Bhavin and David, I think it could affect the resin .. but do a test and let me know! I would recommend trying GP (general purpose) polyester resin because this is by far the cheapest. What should be the percentage? Please help me figure this out, how can i preserve the white tone of the original marble dust when mixing it with resin (without using titanium dioxide or any other pigment)? I was wondering if you could give any insight as to how to go about making this material (i.e molds, components, etc.) There will be voltage, magnetic fields and heat to take into consideration. Trucal No.4 has a particle size like table-salt and also serves as play sand in children’s sand pits. Amongst suppliers and practitioners alike, opinions seem to differ as to whether or not resin should be catalysed before mixing in the filler. Sorry for the long explanation and thank you tons in advance for the attention. Normally I would say that if you’re worried about structural strength you certainly shouldn’t be using either polyurethane or polyester with any powder filler .. you should either use epoxy resin, or think in terms of fibre reinforcements or fibrous fillers. I am using led lighting and wanting to spread the light into my castings?? effective when imitating stone. If you read the information for the various fillers offered on suppliers’ websites you’ll see reference made to using fillers to cut costs, alter appearance, alter weight, to make thicker etc. Obtainable specialplasters.co.uk Trucal No.4 £6.96 per 25kg. Yes, I think so. how much will it affect potlife? We can make any particle size to suit an application as long as it is in sufficient quantity. There are a number of metal powders normally used with polyester resin which give castings the look and some of the properties of real metal, including the weight if enough is used. You should try .. see what happens. It’s really good! Not being a geologist or a chemist, I can’t tell you what it is or how to refine it. We are using baryte but it is causing problems. Others such as glass fibre and marble dust will make the resin stronger. I working on Double chamber base capsule and glass tube based resin capsule. Obtainable tomps.com £5.39 per 1kg, £18.59 per 5kg; tiranti.co.uk £6.31 per 1kg, £66.77 per 20kg, Noblite has similar properties to Fillite, but minute bubbles of glass. kindly let me know the process of polyurethane rubber molding in big model like man height.. So some may impart more strength to a casting, some may sand to a smoother finish, some may even be lighter. As the name implies, this type of filler is receptive to staining. The larger-scale version of the above, as it were .. the individual strands of glass-fibre matting cut very short. I can’t add anything to what I’ve already written in ‘Making a supported silicone mould for a life-size head ..’ under ‘Mouldmaking and casting’ in the ‘Methods’ section. The only other option would be to cast with a regular and smooth surface and then make a coating mixture with the same resin and coarse sand or grit and apply this to the cast surface, but this is a lot of extra work and it would be very difficult to apply this uniformly! This differs from regular sand in that it’s pure limestone (calcium carbonate) with no silica which means that casts can be more easily tooled afterwards. Do the fillers create that effect or is there something else that is required in process? But how would it affect the gel time? It greatly increases the strength and weather-resistance and, if mixed in a certain proportion with cement, results in a sculpting mass very like natural clay .. though one has to model comparatively quickly with it? Brass, copper, aluminium, iron and bronze are commonly available but nickel can also be found. Unfortunately I never received any .. still waiting for that to test! Maybe you’ll find them if you google ‘epoxy resin for encapsulation’ or something similar. I’ll test it soon! I have adjusted prices to include VAT as I always do and the last update was November 2019. Talcs will also generally improve brittleness (meaning that they’ll make polyester resin less brittle, more impact resistant) and make the surface more durable. The Tomps website recommends soaking the Cabosil in resin overnight (before being catalyzed of course) because it can be difficult to disperse and the limit should be 15% by weight (since fumed silica weighs very little this represents a lot). I would say as a general rule again that if the filler is going to alter the viscosity of the resin substantially it should always be catalysed first, otherwise the risk is that the catalyst can’t be properly dispersed through the mix afterwards. .. i.e. There are different grades i.e. Some types however are specially coated to counteract the immediate thickening effect. I cannot say anything specifically regarding epoxy resins since I don’t work with these myself, but most of the following fillers would also seem to be suitable according to Tomps and other sources. I am currently carrying out a project investigating how the filler material in polyurethane castable rubber affects its mechanical properties. to add to cast silicon or urethene objects, I.e. hello there Do you know of a type of additive that is reflective..or can enhance light? Recently we faced a strange and regular problem. Informative site, thanks. You probably mean the ‘clear casting’, but there’s no ‘pearl’ effect with this as a rule .. it’s as clear and colourless as water. Dear David For example I do know that talc will make polyester resin less brittle (since polyester suffers from this) but I doubt whether it will add much extra to epoxy and I’m pretty sure that in the case of polyurethane resin it will weaken it, just as other fillers do. What quantity do I send, 10 kg, 20kg? 1. polished with steel wool to expose the metal particles and achieve a metallic shine. Obviously kits consist of individual parts. When the resin cures, it holds the bolt. Since normal talc thickens resin quickly it is excellent for making a filler paste (such as normally bought for car body filling) even with polyurethane resin, although working time in this case is very brief! The ash is in the form of a black talc to be disposed. Kraft Kote is NOT food grade. This extremely Lightweight Epoxy Filler can be used to smooth the surface of repaired parts, fill the weave on moldless or male-molded parts, and shape fillets in corners and joints. I tried ground glass and got the same effect. I am experimenting with hydraulic cement into the resin now. $5.25 $4.20. The polymer will also help it to stick to steel reinforcement structures. The section is about 10mm all round apart from the horse. Also it should not affect the pearl effect in the product. The forms can be made almost shatter-proof if you give them an inner filling of resin mixed with chopped glass-fibre strands. Resin capsules/ cartridges are used in rock bolting during tunneling and mines. usually they are attractive with many colours. . Some, such as Fillite and glass bubbles, will reduce the weight of castings considerably and also make the resin more carvable. I’m using polyurethane resin, I gave the cement a try but it didn’t work that we’ll…. I would normally say that the only solution would be to use less silica powder, surely? It sounds like it’s out of my area. Resin kits have matured in accuracy, detail, fit, and finish and the end results are great-looking models of some of the rarest of aircraft. My company makes PMMA (Acrylic) systems actually as special fast acting temperature tolerant binding systems for highways, but the same polymer system is used for water clear resin casting with complimentary PMMA microspheres. Can you suggest me the process that how to properly mix and pour and cast this material? I would use marble dust but its impossible to find on this small island and no hobby store on mainland will ship it here. Yes, I was busy with writing and just about to reply. What type and % of filler could approximate a nice, dull, gray finish with a cool touch? The price of fillers has rocketed over the last few years from some suppliers, and others are changing what they stock .. so it’s always best to check the websites directly to see what they’ve got and for how much before making plans! Hello David! Your intentions re marble simulation sound right! Tamiya # tam87095. When added to resin fine talc will thicken it quickly, changing the viscosity noticeably even at just 10%. Is there a way to ad a textured feel to the cast resin ? It could work though. Milling produces very short glass filaments, rather like flock. Thank You very much once again, Hi David! 3. I’m very new to this, and Im sorry for my newbiness Other Things You Need To Know. Most of my experiences with commercially available Bioresin have been bad though .. i.e. Have a look at this first. It’s not uncommon when working with polyester, and although I didn’t come across any when researching epoxy resin I’m sure there must be one. Thanks Catherine. I have considerable experience with a product from the US called Kraft Kote. You may have answered this question already in a comment above, but I want to clarify because I was a little confused by the word choice of your reader’s inquiry. For example, if you make a silicone mould around a lightbulb, the silicone will reproduce the ‘polished’ surface of the glass and transfer this in turn to the cast, whereas a prototype with a rougher surface will result in a ‘matte’ look on the cast surface. Hi David. I only have time for a very brief answer I’m afraid! I would need to reduce it to dust somehow. I like the wild questions! By ‘casting grade’ do you mean ‘clear casting’ polyester? Do you class this as a resin? West Marine offers everything you need for cosmetic gel coat and structural fiberglass repairs. Thank you! Mike. I am dealing with this question separately because it’s one I get often. The ‘bleeding’ has continued all this time.

I will try epoxy , but I epoxy is yellowish after the cure ? Metal powders in polyester resin will be affected by ‘the elements’ .. both will turn verdigris. If your resin is marketed as ‘white’ it’s probably pre-filled with an amount of white pigment, so you may not get strong colours. Thanks. Suitable for adding to any resin to ‘improve mechanical properties’ which means making stronger, in some cases more weather-resistant and can also act as a thickener. So water-based acrylic is out .. unless you’re curious to see the resin foaming up and curing like Swiss cheese! Many thanks for this Ralph! After all, fillers for resin really should be inert, and cement is definitely not! A magnet is embedded into a resin model with glue and epoxy gap filler (Apoxie Sculpt). There is no problem in setting time and mechanical properties of the resin capsule. I’d be interested to know why you’ve chosen this? And, they will have to mimic the look and feel of concrete, although for the lighting I’m not opposed to a reduction in weight. I am casting a small electricity generating turbine in polyester resin, which will be exposed to the elements. Thanks! It has a low viscosity making it extremely easy to mix.

Barite powder is supplied in bags like cement and it is very difficult to check each and every bag. Can I just use concrete powder as filler? Stainable wood fillers . Very interesting article. I’m also wondering whether mica powder (or very small flakes) would be an idea, because this may thicken the resin and possibly enhance the metallic effect at the same time. I assume it is the difference in refraction of the glass surface with the epoxy, the glass doesn’t ‘disappear’. Yes, probably any filler with make the resin opaque .. but finely ground ones in particular. Why not keep with the cement-based media, since these is designed for survival outdoors? While you’re at it .. have you tried flour .. or icing sugar? Thank you for a great list you provided us with. The bar wood is glued and nailed to the counter tops, so it is not perfectly level and I have no way of leveling it (if I sand it down it will ruin the look I want). The thick CA glue has a high viscosity that allows filling of large voids and gaps. Shop online for 18 plastic model putty at discounts up to 23%. I suspect that glass (or plastic) microspheres may be more available and possibly cheaper than Fillite, now that this material seems to be becoming ever more expensive.
