I'm familiar with the WS 406, but the cab-o-sil is a good bit cheaper. Can I use this for all my silica additive needs in place of 406?

I use 'no name' silica 'Anti-Sag' and it works OK.
Years ago I used some 'name brand' silica - either WEST or Cab-O-Sil and it mixed up into a transparent 'greasy' mix....which is what I like. With the no-name stuff, it has the same wet/greasy consistency but is opaque 'white' (or tan if my WEST epoxy hardener is getting old...).
So, functionally there isn't much difference in my experience.
If you've used silica before you know how easily it gets airborne, so don't forget to use a dust mask.
