1 Quart 100% Pure Fumed Silica Powder, Advanced Thickener for Epoxy, Paints, Varnishes, Professional Fumed Silica for Filling Cracks and Voids, Worked Well for Ceramic Blanket Rigidizer - by TITGGI

I cant always get really flat paint for small touch-up latex samples. Matt samples are not perfectly flat paint and shine on pre-painted surfaces. The silica powder kills any sheen and makes the latex samples thicker for drip free applications on ceilings or walls. I mix the silica and latex in small tins and let sit for a minute or two before applying. I little goes a long way, use fractional teaspoons per ounce of paint.

Works great

Works as it should when mixed with polyaspartic for filling concrete cracks.

This worked but was kind of clumpy. Rustolium metallic gold paint is very runny and hard to work with. This did make it less so.

Was exactly what I expected. Haven’t used it yet, but have no reason to think it won’t work.

This is the right silica to get to mix up your own rigidizer.

The seal cover was opened on this product, yellowish and weird odor!!!

I saw a fellow resin artist working, while working they used a product (I saw in the background) to thicken resin vs waiting and hoping the resin doesn’t get hot and to thick to quick! so this product allows you to color multiple different colors at one time vs having to go back and forth when working with resin. most times you apply a color and wait so the next color doesn’t run into next! this is a great tool!!! price is great out come amazing!!! i will be ordering again!!!!

If you are looking for fumed silicate for the dry water science experiment this is not the correct kind and will not work. So glad we did a practice run before the birthday party.

This product worked exactly as I had hoped it would. My only caution is that you open it in a room with still air, because it is extremely light--think of it as a container full of feathers: You wouldnt think of opening a container of feathers outdoors, so think you this product in the same way. As for how to use it: Mix your resin and hardener completely before adding the fumed silica. Then mix it thoroughly to eliminate any lumps before applying it to whatever surface or volume you intend to. It worked for me and it will work for you. I recommend it.
