"We'll get some Qcell going. I just use any kind of normal bucket. Just get a handful of the Qcell, put it in that bucket. Get some laminating resin. Go ahead and put a little in there, and this is just a ratio. It's like any kind of consistency you want is how much you mix it. So obviously less resin, more powder you're going to get more of a really thick bondo type, which is the way I like it because obviously if there's less resin it doesn't have as much mass, which is weight. What we're trying to do is make everything really like, we want it strong, but we also want it light. So what we do is just mix that in, kind of knead it in. Get it real, real nice. Just kind of stir it in, get it mixed in. If it gets real dry like that, just kind of get most of that powder out and just go ahead and little bit more resin just like that, just a little bit more. This is obviously plenty for what we're doing, but too much is better than not enough in my opinion. So once you get it nice and mixed up, come over here, you grab your squeegee, dip it in that acetone."
