Is Cab-O-Sil the same as micro ballons and epoxy. forgive my ignorance but I've never heard of it. Course then I've only been at the for 35 years. And while were at it what the heck is SuperFil?
If you don't know what Cab-O-Sil is, I highly recommend that you read [link=http://systemthree.com/members/literature/The_Epoxy_Book.pdf]The Epoxy Book[/link], especially the SECTION VII C - MODIFYING EPOXY WITH FILLERS ... I have an older version of the book and I will post it shortly. It is better than the new version.

A lot of people try to clean up epoxy with alcohol. 91% does better than 70%. But neither compare to acetone. Wear gloves, and clean up with acetone. Acetone doesn't even hurt most plastic coverings like MonoKote or UltraCote, and it does a tremendously more efficient job of getting the epoxy off, especially the 30 minutes and 5-6 minute variety.
