Inlace

[John Terefenko]

For you people that use Inlace for decorative infill, what do you use to mix with??? Do you use epoxy or resins or something else??? Thanks. Anybody have a good source???

John, I have had good success wity both epoxy and ca glue.
If you mix it with epoxy make sure to keep the epoxy and Inlace ratios the same, ie same thickness of mixture. If you use to little Inlace the effect is not as appealing.
If you use ca glue do a little at a time, just put the glue in the area and fill with Inlace. Build up slowly and add more where needed.
Good luck,
Jeff

the nose knows

My nose tells me that the Inlace brand premixed material uses a fiberglass (polyester methinks) resin. I have used this along with the dry crushed material to make my own "Inlace". The fiberglass resin is available at most auto parts and hardware stores. It may be a bit less money than epoxy and it works well for me.
have fun

I use the Inlace resin -- either the clear resin or the premixed. I do not know what type of resin it is, but I am not convinced that it is clear polyester resin because the clear polyester resins that I know about which are used for hobby type casting will not fully cure if exposed to air. There are addatives that will enable them to cure, but then the resin is no longer clear.

There are some crystal clear slow curing epoxy reins, but I think that they yellow a bit over time.
