Good luck!
Was the GelMagic a fairly heavy bodied, stiff epoxy kind of like fiberglass bonding agent (if you are familiar with it)? If so, then that may well be a distinct advantage over the TAP epoxy. It had a consistency not much stiffer than regular epoxy like JB Weld after mixed. It worked fine but in open joints I had to tool it a couple times while setting when it started to slump a little or put masking tape over it to keep it from slowly sagging out.
