Default West System Six10 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive

Has anyone used West System Six10 thickened epoxy adhesive? I had to repair damage to my waverunner hull and I heard that this stuff is great. It's new so I had to hunt around a bit before I found it, but the guy at the marina where I picked it up told me he sells a lot of it.

It comes in a tube and you dispense it using a caulking gun. It's got a special nozzle you attach to the front of the tube that mixes the epoxy with the hardner or you can just push it out onto a paper plate and mix it yourself. I mixed myself since once you use that nozzle it's shot.

It takes around 40 minutes to setup and 24 hours to cure up hard. Anyway so far I really like this stuff and I can see a lot of applications for it. It doesn't setup non rigid, it has some give to, but it's sets up very strong and sticks extremely well.
