This thickens the resin so it can be used as a paste adhesive like the Devcon 30 minute but is much stronger due to the fiber that was added to the matrix. It also gives you close to an hour working time.
another reason why it's stronger, I believe that laminating resin is more pure than the glue is because the glue has thickeners in it. I had a wood boat back in the 90s so I read a lot about epoxys. but that was a long time ago, things may be different today
