-Cabosil - Sometimes just referred to as "Cabo". Cab-O-Sil  is a thickening agent for resin or structural adhesive . We found that by adding Cab-O-Sil to VelociPoxy or EZ-Poxy, we formed a strong, solid, heavy, but nonporous filler. When mixed with VelociPoxy to a paste consistency, it is good for fixing chipped or damaged edges of cowlings, doors, etc.  We also found it to be very helpful in filling the porous surfaces left after the Micro-Balloon process has been sanded. Apply with a putty knife or squeegee to porous surfaces. A small amount of Cab-O-Sil may be added to Micro-Balloon to make the mixture stickier, so that it stays where up put it. This is especially helpful on vertical or upside down lay-ups.  Be careful to remove all excess Cab-O-Sil, because once it has cured, it is very difficult to sand. Following cure, sand with 120-180 grit paper, then prime with epoxy primer. You will find that all those annoying pin holes have disappeared.<br/>
