Thanks!
I use RAKA epoxy (ordered via internet), which is not too awful in price. There are all sorts of fillers you can add for various purposes, including making stuff like body putty -- although I have usually found Bondo quicker and easier (other than the fumes) to work with.
The Varieze (a Rutan experimental aircraft) was made with glass in epoxy over styrofoam, in a process called moldless composite construction. Aircraft Spruce and Specialty used to sell a book written by Rutan and a kit of stuff to experiment with. Dunno if they still do.
