diemai Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 @ sinyo Never heard of such before:nuhuh: ,.......maybe to create a kind of putty to fill up little holes in the wood:? ? I sometimes do this , but mix with the tiny woodchips from my lathe ,.......filling up the weight holes in my lures this way . greetz, diemai:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 No, I don't think it helps. Epoxy has the best adhesion when nothing is added to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROWINGADUBAY Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 When I was reading up on boat building I heard many people mix regular flour for making fillets to cover up imperfections on joints and filling holes the collor match to pine or fir was unbelieveable. good luck!!!!

JBlaze Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Like Diemai, I have mixed fine sawdust from my band saw for filling holes. It becomes more of a putty and isn't nearly as sticky after doing this. So, I would not trust it anywhere I needed strength. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 In UK, cigarette ash is more expensive than the epoxy! Rp94,000 for pack of Marlborough. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallie Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 9 bucks a pack - WOW. I remember people in the USA saying " If they hit a dollar, I'm quitting!". I think they were about 2 bucks a pack when I quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinyo Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) @smallie: I'm glad u know Indonesian currency rate:yes: back to topic: I've tried it.. I mix the ashes with 5minute epoxy 0,5:1:1 ..total disaster:o (become hard before I can applied it on wood) 1st I mix epoxy like usual and applied it on wood...then I poured the ashes on the epoxy surface, it's become hard really fast, but I think it's only on surface:? about the strength : untested sinyo Edited May 18, 2009 by sinyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlaze Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Sinyo, that is very interesting. When you poured the ashes on the epoxy after putting it on wood was it the 5 min epoxy or the 30 minute epoxy? Also what did it do to the surface texture?

jim45498 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Cigarette ashes mixed with epoxy.....Sounds like that would be a smokin' lure:flame: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinyo Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 5 min epoxy or the 30 minute epoxy? Also what did it do to the surface texture? John still 5 min epoxy...the texture smoother than normal save lil' time for sanding ps: I used b/w 5 min epoxy not clear epoxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Neon Signs Posted August 8, 2024 Report Share Posted August 8, 2024 (edited) In fact, Epoxy + Ash will work as a type of composite material. It does not improve the bond to the wood, but strengthen the epoxy. Edited August 8, 2024 by Custom Neon Signs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
