Flox is considered structural. Flox is chopped up cotten fibers mixed with resin. The ratio you mix it is up to you. It depends on what you are working on. You need to be able to spread it, so too dry makes that difficult, too wet may be too heavy so you just have to experiment with some of it to see what works for your application. You want it to be wetted out with epoxy resin throughout so it all is the same consistency. Typically flox would be used to radius an inside corner, for example attaching a bulkhead to the floor. Fiberglass strands do not like to make 90 degree turns because it wants to stay straight. Take the end of a stir stick (aka tongue depressor) put some flox on the end of it and wipe it down into the inside corner so the fiberglass cloth being laid from the verticle wall will curve across this radius of flox in the corner onto the floor, tieing the two together structurally. Always when mixing flox or micro, mix the resin and hardener togher correctly first, then you add microspheres or flox to it. Do not pour all in your mixing cup at once and then stir. When you have your pure resin mixed in your cup just add a little bit of microsperes or flox at a time while stirring until you get the consistency you desire then apply it to your project. Larry H.
From: "bdazzca...@aol.com" bdazzca...@aol.com I forgot.... whats the ratio of epoxy to flox? Using the glass beads and west system 105 with slow hardener. What should it look and feel like when applying? I need to flox everything including my firewall supports. David Swanson bdazzca...@aol.com _______________________________________
