Great question, Bill...
I can't really share too much, but it was a proprietary blend of a special epoxy, coloring agent (for tinting to the right color), fine natural sand and crushed pieces of the tank itself from another repair going on topside, above the waterline, at the same time.
Even more important were the techniques used... Not at all what one might expect. The final technique was the use of a 3M pad to "blot" the surface at a very specific point in the curing to get a rock-like texture.
The real active ingredient was epoxy-based, and required mixing to get it to activate and begin curing... If that's what you're asking.
We could have used the stuff to sculpt pretty much anything we wanted. Pretty amazing!

So back to the gate agent, who now tells us they will do nothing for us because he claims we were originally told that nothing was getting out to the east coast hours ago and how we must of been jumping up and down being real jack (fill in the blank) to get someone to have booked us for that later flight. Now had someone actually told us this and offered to put us up, we would have been fine with that. By now every hotel in the airport and in the surrounded area is booked solid. The manager at the airport hotel was being very good and calling every hotel in town trying to help stranded travelers out. She finally found a Day's Inn a few miles away that claimed to have rooms and would send a shuttle to pick people up. Sounds good. About a dozen of us get on this shuttle and find ourselves being brought to a real sleazy looking Day's Inn. Prostitutes in the Lobby using the pay phones to arrange tricks, condom vending machines in the Lobby, drunks passed out in the hallway urinating on themselves, and doors that didn't close or lock. Real nice place. Everyone us walked right back out in horror. Now to make this better, we were traveling with our daughter who was 6 at the time. One of the hookers was nice enough to let my wife use the phone to try and find somewhere else.
