Scotch Weld Black for Carbon?

[78MaicoRider]

I use 30min. Zpoxy mixed with ground CF for strength and to make it black. Tape the edge and you get a nice finished line when set. Or if you're using with regular Epoxy fiberglass mix it with milled fiberglass to make it white. [ATTACH=CONFIG]123975[/ATTACH]

Where do you get the milled/ground CF or FG? They are not offered as part of the West System. In fact I noted an unpleasant attitude change when I inquired about it at my local West Marine store.

The milled Fiberglass you can get at Kintec, look down toward the bottom of this page. http://kintecracing.com/Building_Supplies.html The milled Carbonfiber I make myself from ground up scraps. I just use my little 2" disc grinder and catch the grindings in a pan then put them in a jar for future use. "BE SURE TO USE A MASK" "CF AND FG DUST BAD FOR YOU"!!!! The bad attitude was probably from the fact that they don't want to promote people grinding up CF or FG thierselves cause I'm sure there are morons out there that would do it without a mask!!

I wouldn't use the mortar pigment for colour, after more than 24 hours cure time the JB weld itself failed, left a bit on each slab of fiberglass but it was the actual epoxy itself that failed.
24 hour cure at about 68F in my basement shop.

I use JB weld never had a problem and you can heat it to remove it. Mike no cooling can ?

That's my SAW boat Chris. No more the three or four passes and I bring it in.
