Clyde, you can save yourself some money and get more epoxy (that's what
Marine-tex is; see  http://www.marinetex.com/marinetex_liquid.htm for
makeup, MSDS, etc.), 

AND a small selection of tools, mixing cups, a couple latex gloves, a
selection of fillers (Cabosil is fumed silica -- will make a very hard
layer, but still sandable), 

AND a very well-written, authoritative 50 page book on handling epoxy,  

IF you order the "Trial Kit" from System Three
(http://www.systemthree.com/index.html).  Costs ten bucks.  Ask for the
fast hardener.

Marine-tex has the filler in it already, so you can not remove it or change
it.  With the Sys Three kit, you have a choice of fillers, so you can
experiment and see which works best.
