Fillers

Fillers help expand epoxy's versatility by altering its consistency for specific applications.  Each filler possesses a unique set of physical characteristics, but they can be generally categorised as either Adhesive (high density) or Fairing (low density).

Adhesive filler mixtures cure to a strong, hard-to-sand plastic suitable for structural applications like bonding, filleting and hardware bonding.

Fairing filler mixtures cure to a light, easily sandable material that is generally used for cosmetic or surface applications like shaping, filling and fairing.

By adjusting the amount and type of filler, the user can tailor the consistency of a batch to suit a particular job.
