Default Frog Fanny substitute

I bought a large bag (probably enough to fill 100s of containers) for
$20 at a local fly shop. They told me it was toner. Snoop however, says
that it is an agent they use in fiberglass construction. He used to
build custom airplanes and had used it in the past. Hopefully he'll
comment on this. It is definitely NOT silica gel


Willi,

I'm pretty sure the Frog's Fanny is Cab-O-Sil. It looks like and behaves
like it anyway. We used it to keep resin from flowing on vertical surfaces.
Someone who's experienced with how Frog's Fanny works should order some and
compare. It's really cheap. I'm sorry that I threw the bag (1 gallon) away
when I swore off fiberglassing.
Aircraft Spruce & Specialty in CA sells it. My old catalog has a part no. of
01-14711 at a price of $2.85 for a gallon bag. This catalog is 1995 so don't
know what the price might be now. The phone number for ACS is 800-824-1930.
Freight is probably more than the goods. Another possible source would be West
Marine. You'll have to figure out what to use for a bottle and brush.
