I know someone previously mentioned this before and I just ran a search on this but nothing was found. What do you guys recomend for a filler? I heard talc powder works ok. And also those mini glass beads (i think that's what they were). Weight's not a big issue, but cost is. That's why I'm aimed toward the talc. Any recomendations on how to go about doing this? Thanks.

BTW it's being used to fill in the edges where the fg and mdf meet. It looks ok but I want to be sure that's why I want to use a thick resin to fill a small bead/layer of resin in to make sure of that seal.

Waht's a good mixing ratio? I just want it thick enough so that it will stick to the wall/corner a little bit. BTW thanks caraudio Don't know why I couldn't find those post. I knew I've read them somewhere.

US Composites sells smaller quantities of fumed silica (cabosil), I bought a 5 quart bucket and it should last a while. resin filler -- posted image.

If you need cheap, go with sawdust, it's practically free. Q-Cells are the beads you are talking about.

Play around with the mixtures.
