Morini grip paste - proportions?

[_Axel_]

On the jar it states to mix "proportional quantities", but not what proportion!? How do u use it?

I'd guess it's like epoxy glue, 1 to 1.

When in doubt read read read those instructions.

I'd say, proportionally to the size of the containers...

there is no size stated on the smaller container. Measuring small volumes is hard too, so i think its mixed by weight!?

No, by eye - that's the clue, you'll run out of hardener first, so you'll have to buy another can despite this one being not really empty. There's lot of other stuff on the market that works pretty much exactly like the "Morini" stuff, so I use aftermarket Dibenzoilperoxid for nearly everything, no problemo. It's easier on your nerves to use enough hardener all the time than to wait and hope and wait and see if the stuff will dry... BTW, the "other stuff" is much cheaper - I usually work with body filler mixed with wood dust... What Morini sells is the same that Hammerli used to sell - and that was - I pulled the paper of one of the earliest cans - "Stucco per legno" from Italy...

Yes, I spotted the "Stucco per legno" is very similar (but not identical to) "Isopon P38" car body filler. Purchased in Switzerland or C.Europe, the large tins plus extra hardner is not much and a large time will do several grips.

Adding the "wood chip" to the mix, nice one!
I prefer Silicon Carbide grit and mixing this in works very well - many thanks for the idea!
I still prefer thin application of spray model paint to finish.

Hmm ...... is this stuff to add to a grip?

Seems I saw Spas Koprinkov make a nice grip addition out of 2-part epoxy and wood dust one day at the OTC, the process was quite interesting and fun to watch.
