In Response To: Clear thickener (FShark)

: Is there a clear filler available? I am thinking about products like '5 min
: epoxy'. They are pretty viscous and mostly clear. I wonder what makes it
: thick?

I read about a trick for getting thick, clear epoxy. I haven't tried it yet.

Mix the resin with about 1/3 of the required hardener, and let it kick.
It shouldn't completely harden. Then, add the remaining 2/3 and go.

Sounds like it could work.
