I was wondering if anybody ever tried mixing in mdf sawdust as a thickener with the resin. Is there a reason why I shouldn't try that?

MDF sawdust as thickener? -- posted image.

I actually posted to this to say a unique little thing that happened to me. Had some FB in the living room spilled Orange juice on it. Next day it seemed to have some similar properties to a resin except wasn't hard. I thought wonder what would happen if I added hardner to it. Havn't tried yet but was going to experiment with a small piece of cloth for kicks.

40 grit has saved my life sometimes =[

I heard talcum powder can even be used in place of cabosil, I've never tried it before, but I think I will in the future...

Best way to try it, would be to mix a lil bit first and watch the curing time and test the strength. I tried using sawdust and mdf dust and it'll thicken the mix, i just had to use more mekp hardener.
