Default Another Talcum Powder Tip

Tired of your epoxy running when you try to glue things together. Mix in a little talc until you get the thickness you want, works great and makes the glue easy to sand. I use the cheap stuff from Wal-Mart, a lot cheaper than micro-balloons.

Default Just say no to Corn Starch

When you buy your powder make sure it is really talc powder, there are some products with corn starch. Corn starch will make a mess that you surely don't want to deal with.

You might want to consider the unscented talc from a drug store. Wear a mask when you sand it!!!!!!!!!!
