Contrary to the original scoop at Naperville, "Liquid Gravity" consists of an
applicator bottle full of tiny beads of what seems to be tungsten or an alloy
thereof.
The nice people in the booth would not disclose what the material is but there
are limited choices on the Atomic Table of Elements and I'm guessing it isn't
Gold,
Lead or Depleted Uranium.....
The material does not have any adhesive or setting fluid; it is just tiny beads
dispensed from a necked cap applicator on the bottle. One could use CA or
thinned white glue (as you would with ballast... wet with alcohol and use 50/50
white glue and water) to bond it once poured or work it into a slurry prior to
application depending on your preferences. Looks to be a very convenient way
of getting weight into tight spaces.

Denny,
While at iHobby this year, I noticed a product that could have
numerous applications for this sort of procedure.
If you look here:
http://www.deluxematerials.com/newitems.html
and look at the product called "Liquid Gravity" you can see what I mean.
This product is a thick self leveling liquid that can be poured into
things like boilers and cars and it sets in a nice dull black
(actually, when put on a floor of a coal gon, it takes on the
appearance of coal dust) - there are a variety of products to "fix"
it. Non-toxic, no need to heat it - it has a lot of uses.
