I'm just curious about the different ways to thicken and/or reinforce epoxy. I see the term "thickened" a lot. So far I've only mixed wood flour to the epoxy and that was for the coaming fillet and to glue in some end blocks for toggles. Have seen folks mention chopped glass and strands of glass as well as silica, bubbles, etc. Should I be adding glass to fillets?

: Why are you looking at chopped glass?

: If it's a filler for epoxy it's tiny fragments of glass, easy to
: buy.
