Thixotropic agents

Can anyone tell me a little about thixotropic agents. I laid up a hull yesterday and for some reason, most of the resin ran into the bottom. I can't figure out why since it never did it before (I've laid up about 15 boats without this happening).

What are some of the agents and what are the advantages and disadvantages of the different agents?

Thanks! Dave
