[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2658102, member: 68758"] Never heard of using microballoons in a bedding compound. They're glass spheres, added to epoxy mixtures to add volume and make a lightweight, easy to sand filler. I've used more epoxy/fillers (West System) than I care to remember in boat renovation/repairs- I'd never use glass balloons in a bedding compound. Marine-Tex is fine (I prefer Devcon tho)- but you must use the gray, not the white. White is too soft. In my experience Marine-Tex is much more sensitive to mix ratio and should be done by weight, not volume. [/QUOTE]
