Bumpindemlowzz Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 i used the homedepot polyester type and i didnt really like it too much. Groundpounder uses the uscomposite stuff and does a great job with it. i dont have too much experience with either tho. hopefully he will chime in. 2010 Silverado 18" DC XL 18 DC 2k XS Power Batts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have worked with both, cloth and mat, and i like the matt much more for the inside of the box cutting the peices is easier than that shit that just pulls apart, and when it hardens it doesnt cut my damn hand up. How is their shipping costs, i can get a gallon of resin in town for 40 bucks.

Armoredhaulin Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Are you talking about the bondo? Im gonna be needing about a gallon, i wanna pay for the product not shipping. The resin available at Home Depot or other places like that is basicaly a finishing resin, not the best choice for multiple layer applications because of the wax in it. This should really only be used on the final layer. Un-waxed or lay-up resin should be used in the layering of multiple layers of mat or cloth. Multiple layers of the waxed resin on top of each other can cause seperation between them. "I don't bullshit.
