FAQ

Fumed silica is an extremely fine powder used as a thickening agent. It is often used with polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy resins. It is great for making fillet putty, thickening epoxy for a better glue consistency, and for use below the waterline. Resin drains off a vertical surface but by adding Fumed Silica, the resin can be made to stay in place.

Fumed Silica can also be mixed with milled fibers for structural putty and/ or glass microspheres/bubbles for a sandable putty. It is added to the resin at approximately a one-to-one ratio by volume. You may use more or less to suit your application.

Great value, worked perfectly.

Building a fuel celll into my sailboat with vinyl ester resin. This worked perfectly with some milled glass to filet the coosaboard before glassing.

Fumed silica

Worked great to thicken gel coat. Container (4oz) would probably thicken a gallon or more. I only needed a small amount.
