Weight

[MaverickITA]

Ok friends,
using epoxy resin there is no problem to fix and complete the coil but the weight increase too much.

Can I mix epoxy resin with something else or use it only in some parts?
In this last case, what can I use to fill the area?

Was this argument already discussed inside the forum?

Any suggestions are well accepted.

Thank you, guys.

Or you can use a lightweight epoxy resin.

whites uses something like 'pena montazhnaja', do not know how write in english. POLYURETHANE FOAMS???


all tell it 'makroflex'. i think their site http://www.makroflex.com/en/products.html
odnako makroflex for coil has to be VERY SPECIFIC, because DOES NOT ENCREASE IN VOLUME. ORDINARE MF is ENCREASING AFTER freezing in 3-5 times!
you have to find out the NON-SELF-EXPANDING foam -!

The foam is self-expanding and during the curing process expands about 2 to 2.5 times.

do not ask me WHAT uses whites - I simply do not know!
