Anchor staples are "similar to Arrow T-50" staples. I have used a lot of them, but the frustration of one jamming bad batch which ruined a brand new Arrow T-50 stapler, changed my mind
the box of staples that you recommend clearly states: "Not For Marine Use".
I have never tried that one. I use the recipe from Issue #16 of WC.

I have been using this for 24 years now, with NO problems. Dan missed this one on the Knowledge Base page for filler recipes.
I find the filler too thin, runny, to really fill with. Since I have a lot of errors to fill, I mixed a side batch of thick filler, more silica than the other. I am using it to fill the bad parts and still using the thin stuff to penetrate into the weave. It does not seem to dry fast enough to polish.
Ummm... it's been the very first one on the list, since well before I was involved with this site...
Ever use an auto body squeegee to smooth it? I have gotten better results with one. And the filler dries quick and smooth.
