frizzy Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Ok, so i'm looking to buy some fiberglass. I'll be making some fiberglass boxes for a '89 CRX and will also be doing a lot of the custom body work with it too. I'm kinda new to the whole fiber glassing thing. I know how to fiberglass i'm just not sure what weight mat I should be using for each job and/or layer of glass. With that said, I need answers to: - What weight mat should I be looking for? - Is there a good place online I should buy from or should I look locally? - Is there a best resin for the job, or are they all pretty much the same? Any help is appreciated, but I don't want a how-to book on this as i'm sure many of you could write. I live near Kansas City Missouri if that helps anyone out on finding a local supplier.

fritosaregood Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 look at a place fiberglasssite.com for some mat. as for the resin. its usually cheaper to buy it an a local autozone similar store, when you buy it online its not much cheaper and you have to pay additional shipping because its hazardous.

tonedeaf Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think I paid $33 for a gallon of resin at lowes. That should do a LOT. Most have mat too, but just one size. I'd get mat online and resin/hardener at your local craft store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdblue Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 uscomposites.com for anything and everything you need. usually 1.5oz mat is the more popular choice, and B440 resin is also the more popular resin used. you can also look for mat or resin at a boat supply store if you have one in your area...
