Do you anyone know about using Thixotropic epoxide resin for Epoxy-Granite?
Some of characteristics of my resin:
- bending resistance 16,5MPa,
- pressure resistance 70Mpa,
- adhesion to the substrate 4MPa .
I would use mixture of iron (steel) aggregates (0,3mm about 60-70%, 5-6mm about 25-30%) + glass wool (10-15%). Agregates-Epoxy about 10-11/1.
Then I would fulfill space between two steel square tube one in the second (120x120mm and 60x60mm) to make 1m long metal lathe bed. Please give me also your opinions about such design.
Thanks in advance! :-)

Peter you can not use a thixotropic Epoxy as it will not be able to wetout the fillers.You need a very thin epoxy similar to laminating epoxy at 600CPS
Thick epoxy is 20,000Cps
