Resin based "spackle" for use with Dibond decks in case interiors.

in Tools & Materials

Hi all,

I know that this is not exactly a direct mountmaking question but I have folks wanting to upgrade the quality of their case interiors. I write here because I don't know of a better practical source of information than this venue!

This formation would also be useful to me for fill-in object innerface applications between objects and decks.

I am seeking a product that would pass Oddy tests and be more "liquidy" than "doughy" in application (please excuse my use of such highbrow technical terms). The idea would be that it would be able to provide a relatively smooth transition between different sections of dibond with minimal working and the end product would have a fairly smooth texture to match up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Personally, I am still stuck in the old days and have mostly just used Aves product. Many thanks for any suggestions!

cheers,

Ashley

G'day, Are you asking for a polyurethane type filler to cover/fill joins between sheets of DiBond ? Maybe a photo of the present problem showing what needs to be accomplished would help. Thanks.

Not polyurethane really more of a two-part epoxy-type product more related to the old school Pliacre and then Phillyseal type products. Like bondo only passing oddy tests. Specifically interested in a formulation that would kind of self-level instead of being too "doughy". Especially interested to see if anyone has used a product in this kind of capacity. I don't have photos because I am enquiring on behalf of another organization unfortunately.

(this reply is probably too late but may be helpful for someone else) , but there seems to be available a number of self leveling epoxy resins that will do up to 6mm depth. the low voc quality would be a manufacturer specific question.
