I've been playing with microballoons as a thickener for epoxy fillets. I'm aware of the other fillers out there, but I happen to have microballoons handy and I have a question regarding them specifically.
Do microballoons sufficiently weaken the epoxy to where it becomes a concern for HPR applications (i.e. fillets)? If you've never tried them and are a little sloppy with your fillets, give them a try. It makes your epoxy sand like a dream! Make sure you have a good filter mask on though, because apparently the stuff isn't real good for your lungs.
