Filler?

[Adam Pinson]

Thought I'd try mixing ground up chalk with 5 minute epoxy as a small gap/crack filler, I'm also going to try mixing the chalk with PVA .... I'll post results.....

Could be interesting, is this to get it coloured? I just use Isopon, car body filler as it sets fast and sands well.

Any benefit over sawdust and adhesive of choice ?

Sometimes a colour contrast is nice, like coffee grounds, metal powders etc, is that what you are after or is there another reason for chalk particularly ?

I find the combination of wood dust/shavings and Epoxy... The pigment can change quite a bit, just interested to see if the chalk is more stable.....

I guess for me it's difficult to just acquire products like coloured filler, here in the Spanish countryside I have to use simple and readily available products..... It's an experiment, I'm always prepared for failure
