I'm putting my motor mount in my mono too. I use jb weld. Here's some tips I've learned if you want to make I look good:
1) use a gram scale. Get the mix exact
2) it's thick. Use a heat gun on low heat to make it flow out. I use a paint brush to feather an blend it.
3) you can use graphite powder to darken it. Beware, it makes it thicker so you'll need to apply heat more often.
4) if you want it black, don't use epoxy dye in it. It makes it flexible. Unless you want that? What I do is after its cured, I scuff it up a little and mix up so cheap, clear 5 minute epoxy, then put 2 or 3 drops of black epoxy dye in it and brush it on. It looks killer when done.
I tried the 406 in my west but I can't get it to flow smooth. I think maybe I got a bad can of it? It's not completely powdery, it has small clumps or bb's in it that's hard to mix in. Maybe someone else who uses it can confirm if this is the way it's supposed to be? If not, I'll order more.
Here's my mono as is right now
