Microballoons BD15 – Lightweight filler for resin 250 ml – Deluxe Materials

Microballoons BD15: lightweight powder for resin and modeling

Prepare a lightweight filler with epoxy or polyester resin

By gradually adding Microballoons to an epoxy or polyester resin, you obtain a mixture with a consistency suitable for filling and finishing work.

This preparation allows you to fill gaps, correct surface defects, and shape before sanding.

Thanks to its low density, this filler allows for a lighter coating than resin used alone.

The resulting mixture is particularly interesting for repair and finishing work in aeromodelling, where weight is an important criterion.

Create snow effects on models and dioramas

Microballoons can also be used to reproduce snowy surfaces on scenery and models.

Combined with Scatter Grip AD25 glue from Deluxe Materials, this powder allows for snow effects suitable for small subjects and dioramas.

The manufacturer recommends this use for creations at scales smaller than 1/48.

It's an interesting solution for representing snowy grounds, reliefs, or surfaces covered with snow on your miniature scenes.

Usage tips

Gradually incorporate Microballoons into your epoxy or polyester resin, mixing carefully until the desired consistency is achieved.

Adjust the amount of powder according to the type of filling or finishing to be done and follow the preparation and curing instructions of the resin used.

As the powder is particularly light, handle it with care to avoid dispersion in the air.

Work in a suitable space and use appropriate respiratory protection to avoid inhaling the dust.
