I don't know what they put in 410, they have never been forthcoming
about it, as far as I have seen. My guess has always been that it is
some product like Talc, but with a binder built into it so that it
doesn't end up all over the place. It is probably the neatest
material to mix of any. I am pretty sweet on 410 actualy, just not
this time on this boat.

If their other stuff is priced like West's epoxy, you can save big
bucks by buying 410 equivalent someplace else. I don't remember what
410 is, but I seem to recall microballoons are not prohibitively
expensive mail ordered. Raka? Clark Craft? I'll bet talc would sand
very nice, but be heavy. Talc makes a nice filler when using model
airplane dope. Then there's all those other fillers we discussed on
this list earlier, I think, or was that the Michalak list?

I�d shy away from using anything that would remain �reactive� in the
future, that might react with the cured epoxy, weakening it. Talc seems
OK.

I've been wondering if drywall joint compound, in powdered form,
might make a good 410 substitute. Anyone want to mix us a test batch?

I have used a ton of west 410 in the past, but I was wondering what
kind of results I could expect using talc instead. I imagine it will
float everywhere during mixing, but I am working outdoors, and can
live with that up to a point. I need to fair my raw edges on Eeek,
and don't want to shell out for 410. This could end up a dumpster
boat in pretty short order.
