Default erm.....

hiya Artificial-I and others!
thats not what i meant, i am not thick.
my query is:
does anyone know WHAT epoxy or silicon( specifically; i.e. JB weld or dow corning's RTV silicone or what?) is used to smooth the airflow in a drilled/ground out crankshaft?
i do understand that the epoxy or silicon is used to smooth the air flow after the shaft lightening process. i just wanna know what is being used.
thanks to all!

Its the GRINDING that makes it lightweight. The epoxy is for making the air flow smoother as everyone answered.
