Poor man's synyactic: Bondo and ping pong balls!
Bondo runs about $10 a gallon and you can buy a thousand industrial ping pong balls for about $40. Bondo gets hot and cracks when set in large quantities but the ping pong balls would act much like the macrospheres in syntactic acting as a heat sink plus reducing the weight. You can also thin bondo with regular polyester resin. You might want to check if the bondo melts the ping pong plastic though. You could always dip them in wax before you set them in. Just a thought.
