    Description

    I purchased a box of this for a project, and don't need it all. It is excellent filler and repair compound for carbon fiber composites. It is a syntactic compound that sets within 2-5 minutes, and sands extremely well. It has excellent compression strength, and was designed for aerospace application to fill mis-drilled holes in composites. I used it to repair dings in my carbon bikes and kitesurfing equipment. See the images for a sequence of a recent repair job. Also showing 2 photos of hole repairs.
    Listing is for qty=3 50mL kits. No applicator or mixing nozzle included. It is difficult to extrude the material without a gun but possible with wooden dowels provided you are able to maintain proper ratios. As the material has aged, it has become slightly more difficult to extrude through the orifices of the cartridge using cheap plastic guns. I have been cutting the tips off the cartridge, extruding onto cardboard, and mixing with a popsicle stick as shown. It is curing fine and hardens nicely for sanding. This is great stuff to have around the house, I've even used it to repair damaged siding on my house.
    Let me know if you have any technical questions. If you purchase, happy to offer limited technical support on your project. I am a mechanical engineer with a lot of experience repairing composite structures.
