Go to an auto supply store and get a Bondo squeegee. It is flexible rubber. They usually sell them in three-packs of three different sizes. Don't use the yellow one that West System sells because it's ridgid and won't flex. Instead of smoothly spreading the epoxy it wants to scrape it and it makes a foamy bubbly mess.
