Help please
Where can I order Cabosil in small amounts.
Doing a hull repair, and wondering what the Cabosil / Gel mix ratio is.
Thanks

Depends on what a "small" amount is. If you are looking for less than a gallon you can check Ebay or US Composites.
Mixing ratio would be anywhere from 2 parts of mixed resin to 1 part Cab-O-Sil to 1 to 1 (vy volume) if you need it really thick. You are probably going to want it to be closer to the 1:1.
Be sure to mix the resin/hardener 1st before adding the Cab-O-Sil.
Thanks so much guys.
Yes, less than a gallon. I'll check ebay
Here is what In do. All measurements are volume. 4oz resin including hardener (I usually use 3:1 epoxy but what ever you wish) 1oz of chopped fiber 1/4" or less depending how smooth you desire, add cabosil till you are happy with consistency for me that is usually about 4oz.
Speed cost money. How fast ya wanna go?I have done so much for so long with so little. I can now do the impossible with nothing!
a quart of cabosil runs 5 bucks at express composites. Mix it with the gel first to a mayonaise consistency then add the mekp. 20 drops per ounce
Express Composites is in my back yard, I love bouncing ideas off them. Top notch customer service! I just picked up a 10# bag of cabosil, a little more than I need. Mixing is relative to what your need is; peanut butter for a putty consistency, mayo for a more workable mix and molasses for a pourable void filler with no escape routes...WEAR YOUR RESPIRATOR.
