Okay, lets try and answer all your questions: 1. I buy all my products online from a place called Composite Envisions. www.compositeenvisions.com 2. None of the stuff can be bought from home depot except. Lacquer thinner, brusher foam roller, etc. 3. When i finish with all the resin and am ready for the final step, I Clear coat it with automotive clear coat using a HVLP gun, I use 3 to 6 coats to have enough clear to wet sand down, 1000 grit, 1500 grit and 2000 grit, then use a polisher and rubing compound to polish to a shine. 4. They are using Epoxy Resin. I use a 3 to 1 Epoxy resin from Composite Envisions. It comes in 2 parts. 1 The resin & 2 the activator. You mix it at 3 to 1 meaning 3 parts resin (example 12 oz) to 1 part activator (example 4 oz) 5. The videos are edited due to time constriction that only shows the basics. It is Time Consuming and you need alot of patience. 6. In the case of shapes, The flatter the shape, the better. It is difficult to make the curvy shapes and to make the fibers stick and stay on the curves. Practice makes perfect. But try to Stay with the flatter sufaces. Factories make all the curvy items by making a mold and vacuum enfusing them. the vacuum keeps the material down while the resin cures. 7. You know you are ready to put the next layer of resin when it is dry enough that you can touch a side or corner and the resin does not stick to your finger. On the 3 to 1 mix it's about 2 to 3 hours. If you or anyone else have anymore questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
