: Microfibers work too for thickening, actually better than wood
: flour and won't hurt your tools.

It depends on the type of fibers. There are glass microfibers that can damage tools and cotton microfibers that won't. The only issue I have with them is that they tend to clump more than wood flour, so a little extra attention to mixing is required.
