Watch the SacPig Bait Co. shop videos, then read the mixing notes makers ask most — switching formulas, silane coating, and how these balloons compare under a microscope.

Strength testing, water purge, and resin filler footage from the SacPig Bait Co. YouTube channel.
Yes. Watch the side-by-side test, then double the weight you normally use and add 1 to 4 grams. Fine-tune from there.
Switching from our previous formula? Visit the calculator to recalculate volume and buoyancy. The ratios are different from the previous balloon, and this app should take you very close to your old formula.

Our Premium Silane-Coated Microballoons are versatile and ideal for crafting resin baits, building hobby models, and anything that floats. They offer exceptional bonding strength and ease the process of creation.
See the resin filler mix in the video player above.
Absolutely. To adapt your current recipe, simply double the weight of the microballoons you normally use, then add an additional 1 to 4 grams. This should bring you close to the desired outcome, but fine-tuning is still recommended for best results.

Microballoons.com’s Microballoons offer many advantages:
Under a microscope they are smoother, rounder, and more consistent.
Silane coating enhances the bond between resin and glass microspheres. It overcomes the challenges of differing structures and intermolecular attractions, resulting in a stronger and more durable bond.
Silane coupling agents act at the interface between glass microspheres and other particles (such as resin, sand, and metals). They contain reactive groups that form a strong chemical bond with the glass surface, ensuring enhanced adhesion and durability.

Michael Mcamis, the founder of both Microballoons.com and SacPig Bait Co., discovered and developed these microballoons initially to enhance bait making. Research later revealed their potential for many applications, leading to the launch of Premium Glass Microballoons - Silane-Coated for broader use. Orders are fulfilled on SacPig.com.
