Re: Peanut butter recipe??
I dont recommend using PL to make fillets. Pl does not form very well and tends to bubble. Its ok to bed stringers with it, but I would use Peanut Butter to do fillets. (fill corners to make the glass lay in to them better)
Everybody has their own mix. Try this, you need resin, cabosil, chopped fibers, and glass bubbles or talc.
To start use just a small amount of resin until you get a feel for it, say 1/2 pint.
Have everything on hand ready to go. Go ahead and kick it with mekp. (some do this after the fillers are added, I prefer before, the mekp mixes better in plain resin)
First add the fibers. You need enough that it mixes in to the resin completly without thickening it at this point. It should perfuse through the liquid, but the liquid should still be loose and easy to stir.
Second add cabosil. Stir in and keep adding about two heaping table spoons at a time until the mix is the consistency of loose mayonaise. (adding the fibers first help disperse the dry cabosil)
Third add talc or glass bubbles. Keep adding until the mix thickens to loose peanut butter. It will be easier to handle and spread if it is slightly looser than actual peanut butter, but close.
Next, scoop the contents out in to a sandwich bag (the big ones). Cut a corner out of the bag and squirt a bead of your PB in to the corner. Form the fillets using a plastic spoon. In the morning, you got fillets.
OH! work fast, because the stuff will gel on you. Once you get a handle on it, you can mix and squirt in plenty of time. If it gels too quick, reduce the amount of MEKP.
The mix is the same for epoxy, with some adjustments, and a longer wait time.
enjoy
