Reading through the post I laughed a bit, but after hearing some of the responses and that it works for epoxy, I started to wonder. If this stuff also known as “California Crystals, Aqua Crystals, Rainsavers, Watersorb” will replace cabocel,fiberglass or Q-cell could we mix this with RR resin and seal EPS blanks with it? Since it becomes a gel, it would see it would prevent if from soaking too far into the EPS. I’m interested in doing a test batch on some spare foam and debating on going and getting some to experiment with some foam now!
It should work,let us know your out come.Herb
well went to the store and bought so “Watering Crystals” by shultz. I tried mixing the resin up, then adding crystals…complete failure with West Systems 205 or 206 resins. I may have mixed it too hot, but it the crystals never went mushy…guess I need to add it to the resin first, THEN add catalyst maybe?
herb I can get the crystals to form into gel with water, but after 20 minutes in Resin they are still crunchy…any suggestions?
sORrY vOlVo Boy,
…What’s wrong with the dog?
…AH…TOO MUCH …AH…secondhand smoke,I guess?
Bug boy,
…The stuff I use is not the same as the gel crystals = there are completely different.
…I have never given the proper name for the product here or anYwhere as NOT to keep it a secret, but to see who was hungry enough to do the work.
…you win buggie …it’s called ,“polymer”…(ah, I can hear it now,“yer full of chet, sheet head”).It’s used on movie sets as snow, in snow storms like in “the day after tomorrow”.It comes milled in bags, boys…Should have sold it to you suc …ers… in 4oz sacks for 10 bucks a bag…(settle down ,it’s a joke)…I could have retired.Herb
