Default Epoxolite Substitute?

Hi,

In the past I've used Epoxolite for all sorts of applications, like wing saddles, and plug in wings with root ribs that didn't mate pefectly to the fuse. But I'm unemployed right now, and $20 for a 5 oz. can of Epoxolite is more than I can afford right now. Is there any cheaper substitutes for Epoxolite that will give me similar results?

I have milled fiberglass, and micro-balloons if they are of any use?

I hope somebody can help me out. I have an airplane where I had to re-align the elevator tube, and now the elevators don't sit flush on the fuse when I plug them in. I figured the easiest fix would be to apply "Epoxolite", and then plug the elevators in. I know there are better fixes. But I don't want to spend to much time on this particular airplane.

Thank You,

Mark
