Being cheap.?

I have been using the sanding dust from an orbital sander to thicken epoxy and poly resins for adhesive and filleting in non-crucial places. This is OK but somewhat coarse, does anyone know of a small grinding mill that would refine this power into something more like commercial wood flower?





OK I’m not building a deep ocean curser (YET) so nothing is crucial, I use sanding power for almost everything.





Has anyone else tried this, what has your experience been?

Being cheap.?
If its all cellulose (no grit), you should be able to pick up something inexpensive on ebay.....a cheap kitchen flour mill should work for you.
Reply:Put the dust in a food processor.
Reply:www.clark-craft.com has wood floor cheap - works well for fillets. I like to straight epoxy to the area to be done first so it's not too dry, then add a bead of the epoxy flour mix.
Reply:woah...Ü cool...
Reply:well if it works for ya keep it up
Reply:saw dust and glue= "Swedish Putty", folks have been using it for a hundred years.
