Short answer...Yes it will thicken the resin into a Peanut Butter consistency. Long answer...No, I would not use Flour, like you cook with to make PB for boat repairs. IMHO it would make the mix less waterproof and that is not what you want. You need to use materials that lend themselves to be more water repellent. Some use Talcum Powder but then again it is also not water repellent. It's your boat and you can do as you see fit, just want you to be aware that if you use a filler material that is non water repellent it will affect the properties of the PB mix.

Not as strong as if you use Cabosil but adding the chopped strand would aid in the structural strength of the overall mix.
