Makes a great filler for bonding wood parts together if used very sparingly in the epoxy. Do not advise opening the tube in a windy place. It is so light that it will blow in the wind like wheat chaff.

I used this mixed with epoxy resin to repair blisters on my boat. Even though it is extremely fine like talcum powder, it still mixed with the resin well and was easy to work out the clumps to form a consistent paste.
