Hello All,Are there any metal fillers available that actually look like the surrounding metal once they have hardened,and perhaps had a bit of a polish? As far as I'm aware,the answer to this question is likely to be a
resounding "No",most of these materials drying a dark grey colour.
I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried metal loaded polyester resin,as used
in cold cast reproduction artwork.Metal powders are available which mixed
with resin,once cured and polished,look like solid metal.I looked into all this,once,when I was thinking about casting repro projectiles out of resin.
If it worked out okay,there are numerous possibilities,rebuilding corroded
steel projectiles,replacing copper driving bands,even maybe filling dents in
brasswork.Has,anyone,clued up on GRP materials,tried any of this,or knows
some reason why it's not feasible?
