Is this a thick fast cure resin, medium/slow cure with additive/filler or some sort of putty that i've not come across before?

In other news - i've ordered a 160A Arc welder via an auction on ebay...will need to pay a visit to my steel yard shortly to get some scrap to practice on.
The steel yard also sells welding rod - i'm assuming that because they do fabrication themselves they'll be decent rods...they do a box of ~250 6013 3.2mm for about £28+VAT - does that sound ok?
