What are you fixing with it? I have had good luck with the west systems fiberglass repair kits, just throw in some 406 to thicken it up and you can use it for almost anything.

I've been using fiberglass gel paste for my small repairs lately. It is athick gel right out of the can, and can be pigmented to match. Plus it uses standard MEK hardner, so use a little extra and work it quick.

Charlie, stop right there. I know what your problem is. You aren't holding your mouth right.
