SPIDERMAN: Mixing Surfactants with an Acrylic Resin

Post by churkmon »

I would like to mix a Surfactant with an Acrylic Resin to be sprayed out of an Aerosol Can, similar to Silly String. However, unlike Silly String, I would like the plastic to harden more and quicker in time. I understand that Silly String uses a sorbitan trioleate that has an HLB value of 1.8. Are there any types of Surfactants that will cause the plastic to harden more and quicker. Lower HLB?

Wow, to speak the truth I do not know the answer but idea is quite interesting.
So how are you going to use this resin?
