I know Home Depot has Evercoat stuff, and Ace carries some Fiberglass Hawaii stuff too. I think a quart of resin at Ace is like $14.

Should I try and find Fiberglass Hawaii and buy direct or would it be a waste of gas money?

Unless anyone knows a better/cheaper place to buy materials (mat,cloth,resin)

Thanks in advance.

bigger Marine shops...they sell Fiberglass in larger quantities and reduced prices than most hardware places.

I think there is a pretty big marine shop near Sand Island? I know in Alaska, this is the kind of store where I used to get all my stuff...substantially cheaper than Home Depot or other hardware stores due to the bulk nature of the purchase.

Give those places a shot...

(Yeah Dan, I've been looking at messing with fiberglass again also...been reading up on techniques etc.) Problem is, it's typically a very expensive "messing around" heh heh...

IIRC, when I bought stuff at fiberglass Hawaii, the matt on the roll was much cheaper than at City Mill and Home Depot. The variety of materials was also quite good. I can't remember if the resin was significantly cheaper though.

F.Y.I. dont buy to much resin unless you plan on using most of it or its chep enough to waste because once the container is open it will harden on its own (not right away, but in time)

Thanks for the replies everyone..

I actually had enough "Home Depot" (Evercoat) resin left to get me by.. ugh I hate fiberglassing.

Looks like Fiberglass Hawaii is the place to be if I need anymore materials.
