green gooey stuff

whenever i look at pictures of contruction of a fiberglass box, after the glass is all layed up and cured and stuff, they always use this green goo stuff. they coat the box with it, then sand it, and after this step it always appears really smooth. i always use lightweight body filler called "Bondo Gel." but its not nearly as liquidy as that green stuff. anyone know what that stuff is? it seems like it saves a lot of sanding time. anyone?

i figured out what it is. its body filler mixed with resin. it thins the body filler and makes a gooey pastey body filler. it works wonders for filling pinholes and small buildup etc. also, the guy that told me that told me an orbital dual action sander was worth the money so i bought an air one, and it took hours and turned them into minutes. its the best tool yet.
