Hey Karl,

What is Cabosil??

A thixotropic agent for resin. A thickener, sortof.

Yes, fumed silicon dioxide. It's been used to thicken ketchup, so it's not
exactly a hazard. However, you don't want to breath the suspended powder.

Mix some with a strong lye solution and it makes a good, cheap paint
stripper for oil-based paints. It's also great for modifying resins so
they'll stick better on vertical surfaces.
