Those Wally World repair kits are almost always Polyester resin kits and
will eat exposed polystyrene cores.
If it's an epoxy repair kit it will say EPOXY on it.

Bear in mind that epoxy resins and epoxy adhesives, even the two part mix
types, are very different animals. I feel confident in saying there is no
way you will find appropriate materials at WalMart, K-Mart or any other
general retailer. Marine hardware stores should have what you need.

And yes, by the time you have the westsystem epoxy and the mini-pump you
will have about $50 invested in resin, hardner and pump. It's worth it.
And realize epoxy must be mixed in exactly the proportion set forth by the
manufacturer. And go with the slow hardner. It takes a full day to become
sandable but it's lots easier to work with.
