Doesn't using less hardener with Araldite slow down the rate of
curing rather than give an incomplete (and therefore more flexible)
cure?

Wouldn't Isopon P38 (whichever the flexible one is) body filler not be a
better solution in this case ?

That is a polyster loaded with filler.

Known around here as 'hard muckite' to distinguish from 'soft muckite'
(mastica and silicones) ;-)


My father used to refer to die-cast ali (as in toys, cheap fittings etc)
as "muckite" - mostly because it was as brittle as crap and usually broke.
