1/4" Chopped Strand Mat Fiberglass Fibers Quart

Very good prod7ct

I have been ordering this same product for several years. This recent batch is heavier than before. The 1/4" chop sinks to the bottom of my mixture instead of staying suspended while the resin is curing. I am left with the chop settling to the bottom and not well mixed into the resin. I have never had this problem before. Also, I use a specific amount of resin, hardener and chop by WEIGHT, not volume. I have noticed that there is MUCH less chop for the same weight I have always used. There is something definitely different about this batch of chop. It is not doing the job I need it to.

However for what I needed the stiffness of the chop was not what I expected . I used it to thicken epoxy and use for a glue between wood strips. I believe it will do the job. My other option was cotton phlox and fumed silica.The chopped strands made for poor brush on . I opted to make a dip and wet out joint creating a trough of chopped and pressing the whetted strip into the mat and applying to the other whetted strip clamping together.Its all about purpose.

works very good

Good way to add structural strength to resin, especially when using it as a filler. Use as needed to obtain the consistency desired to work with. When combined with fumed silica (cabosil) you can make a filler as thick as peanut butter that is also structurally solid.
