Hi guys, I forgot to ask when I was on the phone about your opinions on adding acetone to IN2.
The reason for this would be to create a cured resin that is a little less brittle and a lower modulus to give it better energy absorption to shock loading/ impacts. Your resin already has quite a low viscosity and so I was just wondering if there was any general advice or if you have had experience with this. I was considering some test specimens that have maybe 10-15% acetone by weight, or should I be looking at volume?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave O.
