Default Microballons in Alphiatic resin ?

Can you use microballons in alphiatic resin to make a filler ? I know you can use them with epoxy, but was just wondering today if they would make a sandable filler. No real gaps to fill here, but might try mixin some up on a scrap pc of balsa.

I have used em with aliphatic resin and was satisfied with the result. Easier to sand than epoxy for sure.

Hi!
It depends on what type of microballons you use....white or brown (glass or phenolplastic ballons) can work but 24 hour mouldepoxy (not the glue epoxy type) is much better than aliphatic glue....and easier too sand too. Polyester resin/microballons is even more easy to sand.
