You can pick which formulation you want, pot life, mix ratio, strength. You can then add stuff, like Carb-o-sil , a thickener and firmer, mini fibers, another thickener and strenghtener, or fiberglass, another thickener and a even greater strengthener.

I use earth pigments to get the brown. Burnt Umber. The local plastic dealer has a rack of dyes for fiberglass, I imagine they would work for epoxy.


If no one makes the epoxy it just magically appears? wink wink Laughing!

There are multiple manufacturers. IIRC you advised G-2 which was a spectacular formulation by Industrial Formulators there in Canada, eh. It was such a good company West bought them a number of years ago and now makes their best formulas under their "System." Plain old carbon black strengthens epoxy a tremendous amount and better black does an even better job.
