About Fixit 1/4 Lb. Epoxy Clay Aluminum
This is a special synthetic modeling clay impregnated with epoxy. Like other epoxies, it is a two part mix. You take an equal glob of both "A" and "B" clays, and simply knead them together for a few minutes until the color is uniform throughout. Once mixed together, the clay is still pliable for about 1-3 hours, so you have plenty of time to use it in your rockets. While still soft, it can be shaped, rolled, stretched, or sculpted. It sets rock-hard overnight, and then can be machined, drilled, tapped, sanded, or painted. It is water-proof, and has 0% shrinkage. First, it is an adhesive epoxy, so it bonds to most materials together: wood, ceramic, metal, stone, glass, cement, foam, fiberglass and many plastics. This is perfect for making fin fillets on model rockets. Just tack down the fin with a drop of CyA adhesive. Then take a little of the clay-epoxy and roll it into a long snake. Push it into the root-tube intersection, and mold it into a fillet shape with your finger. To get a smooth surface, dip your finger into some alcohol, and run it along the fillet. Probably the best reason -- to at least try this epoxy-clay -- is that it is no muss, no fuss, and barely any fumes. If you hated mess you have with regular epoxy: like the mixing cups, the drop cloths, mixing sticks, nasty stink, runny goo, and toxic chemicals for clean-up; you'll like this stuff. About the only thing I do to use it, is a pair of rubber gloves -- just to keep the clay from getting under my fingernails. However, it does clean up easily off your hands with a little soap and water. I recommend the money-saving 1/4 lb. tubs for starting out. You'll probably want to play with it and see how many other uses you can find for it.
