What are you wanting to do? You need fiberglassing resin which can be found at most hardware stores such as lowes and home depot. Then you need fleece or a light stretchy fabric as the bass of the fiberglass. FYI, the thicker the fabric the more resin it will soak up. Then you'll need some fiberglass mat to add strength to wherever it needs it. You'll also need resin hardener to make the resin hard, and some sandpaper and bondo/bodyfiller with hardener to smooth it all down and fix imperfections.

My thing is I couldn't find rage gold anywhere which is why I said bondo. My local lowes didn't have it and I doubt bucheites would...I have no local home depot. They didn't have kitty hair either though. :shrug:

Also, any suggestions on electric staplers? I don't have a compressor ATM or I'd get an air.

you should be able to find rage at your automotive paint store if you have one in your town.

What is wrong with the resin from home depot? Or better yet, what makes a resin good or bad? I used to the stuff from home depot (3M or Bondo can't remember now) and it seems to have worked fine.
