Hey Craig, I've had Six-10 on hand since it came out. It is indeed handy when you need a bit of thickened epoxy for a fix, especially away from home (and your mixing pots etc). The _mixing tip_ is indeed one use. You can buy spares. The cartridge cleverly keeps the components separate so you can store it and just put a new tip on it when you want to use it. The mixing tips are good, especially if you need to dispense a nice bead of epoxy, but you do end up wasting the product left in the tip at the end of the project. So, if I just need a dab, I use the caulking gun to dispense the small amount on a mixing card and just mix it myself and apply it with a stick or whatever. You just have to be careful to not mix the components on the front of the tip when you put the plug back in the tube. I don't really think you could "wet-out" cloth with the mix, as you might by pouring and squeegeeing - although you could certainly smear it all over a patch. It is quite thick. You can put it on a vertical surface without much sag. It seems like it uses a colloidal silica thickener.
