I was in the hobby store today, drooling over all the nice stuff, and I saw two packages of milled fiber. One was 4 oz. for $4.25, and the other was 16 oz. for $5.50. The smaller container was a see-through screw-top plastic jar as seen on the BVM site. It said the fibers were 1/32 inch long, but looking through the jar, it looked like a powder. The larger container was a cardboard box, so I couldn't see inside. It was from CST. I was set to buy the small one until I saw the larger one. I ended up buying neither yet.
Has anyone here used either of these? Any advice? I like the unit price of the CST package, but I don't know if it is nicely packaged inside or maybe just a bag, and I kind of doubt I'll be needing that much anytime in the foreseeable future.
Interestingly, the BVM package suggested a mix of 1/4 milled fiber to 3/4 microballoons to be mixed into epoxy (after the hardener is added and stirred in) for crack-resistant fillets.
