Hey Herb, It’s a great idea and most creative and a hell of allot cheaper then what you when you by any other of the several filler products on the market. After you get the stuff outa the pamper it’s matted and compressed. So if you throw it in a blender dry (without a frog unless of course you want a special pigmented affect) would that facilite mixing up a batch of Herb’s infant filler? The stuff looks like it’ll work great but it’d be nice to get a good homogeneous mix to start with. Better Surfing, Rich

I know this whole thing sounds a little ridiculous but so is 100 guy at one break. Nice try gene but you could feed the stuff through and things would get all clogged up.

Herb, None of my bee’s wax but have you checked with the diaper people to see who supplies them with the stuff? Maybe there is a better, cheaper, purer source. Not to be mercenary, but if you are thinking about going anywhere with this application, you ought to check with a patent attorney. Your little brainstorm may have huge implications for uses beyond diapers and surfboards. Might cost you a couple $100 but a proper patent might net you a couple $100,000 at least. He who hesitates is last! Go for it! Newbs.

Thanx Herb, I’ll give it a go and see what happens. Seems like it’ll be pretty easy to clean up afterwards. Better Surfing, Rich

What the > hay!!! it’s only money,right?Herb I hope you’re not taking this the wrong way. It’s not about keeping it a secret. It’s not about the money unless you want it to be. I rather doubt that anyone here is going to run with this. I was just suggesting that if you wanted to put in the time and effort (it would be a lot of time and effort) you could reap some reward. If you want to leave it as a really cool tip for all of us out in cyberland, that’s great too! Just don’t feel bummed if there is a jar of “Diaper Doo Filler” sitting on the hardware store shelf in a year or so. It’s never too late…
…I helped develop leash plugs(when people use to say,“gee it’s going to pull out!”)We made them out of pvc end plugs.Extra long boxes,all kinds of cheater tools,and…I’m NEVER SATISFIED!!!I’M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE NEXT BEST THING!Herb

Thanx Herb, I’ll give it a go and see what happens. Seems like it’ll be > pretty easy to clean up afterwards.>>> Better Surfing, Rich rich, eat your words. little grinder works great. blend it up!
I tried the diaper stuff, The filler turned out brown and smelled like crap!@
Great! Now we don’t have to wait for the sun to turn our boards brown. We can get that vintage look right of the blender and maybe drop in an egg or two and some hot peppers for a UV hardened crape. 
Gone Surfin’, Rich p.s. Lemon Meringue Pie would taste much better.
I tried the diaper stuff, The filler turned out brown and smelled like > crap!@ …No ,but seriously if that post was made by Noodle,(I see the gremlins are back).What brand of diapers are you using?(most likely the reason,Huggies Supreme are the only one I have tried)What medium are you mixing it with, suncure,mekp/poly or epoxy?(I tried the first two,no problems,and Peter says it worked well for him with epoxy)Did you over cook it?(which would brown anything). …I have made clear resin prototypes with the filler ,plus tints too, more that a week ago ,with no signs of yellowing,browning,or unusual odors present…Check you mix.Herb
You should have said so. Now I have to start over.
I doubt if the stuff turn brown without the wrong kind of encouragement. If it gets to deep around here I’ll just put on my brown boots or get up on a stool. Seriously,I’m anxious to give it a try. I got a friend’s old 5’11" fish I’m fixin up that’ll be a perfect place to start. I’ll let you know how things go. Better Surfin’, Rich p.s. Noodle’s helped me with advice in the past. I’m pretty easy about havin’ a little fun sometimes. Things can get too serious much too easily.
