    I love thus thread - wish I could give many photos a thumbs up - but don’t seem to have administrative permission to so - so I will just waste a bit of space saying thank you again for all of the effort that goes in to making these posts ON TOP of the work itself!!!

      I wondered what the spray gun was for, are you applying a release agent?

        Nope. It was yet another semi-successful attempt at producing a 'gel-coat' for my glass layup work; this time using micro-balloons.

        Over the decades I've tried all sorts of resin doping-thickening mediums, including silica fibers, micro-balloons, talc... everything but Kryptonite and lawn-dirt!

        But, from this same thread, the good Doctor put me onto a commercially available thickening agent that should be in tomorrow (lov'n Amazon!). We'll see if that does the trick.

        Thixotropic agent, this stuff:
