Default RE: Microballoons and other mysteries

Thanks so much for the great tips guys! That idea about heating the work is very interesting. Thinning the epoxy with alcohol sounds like the most stable timewise. I haven't been to the West Systems site yet today(thanks for the link), but i have checked it out in the past and I beleive they were wary of thinning epoxy(generic) because it could(not would) cause an extremely long drying time. Think I'll test a batch first!
I really like the baby powder idea! When I bought the bottle of balloons it was in a ziplock baggie! got it home and read the bottles warnings[X(].Must be bad bad stuff! I was very careful while using it! How bad can baby powder be for you!?
