polyester resin using a chopper gun
There is no cloth in it
epoxy resin would cost 3-4 times more

I have always used the resin I can pick up at an auto supply store or even Home Depot. Now if you need a large quantity that may not be practical.

At the supplier you want to get 1.5 oz mat, resin w cat, & 2-3 rollers.
Hardware store get the cheap 2" & 3" paint brushes wood handle
& some plastic buckets for mixing, I like the peanut butter jars for small mix.
The new thin milk jars will melt though.

I like the small aluminum foil baking pans (like little mealoaf pans). I get them for 10 cents each.

Okay here are my choices of mat they sell. Lets say I wanted to make my own decklid, extend the rear down a bit, modify the rear window so it will accept something flat, make some doors and lower and flare out the fenders for a more aggressive look(http://images.craigslist.org/3ne3mf3oc5V45W55U3a8497c74efef74013a6.jpg).

so im going to venture a guess and say 1 yard = 3.23
or rather 1yard up to 3.33 yards is 3.23 total or is that per yard ?
which would mean 3 yards would be 9.69$? so the quanity is discounted as it gets bigger?

so if im understanding that right 85 yards at 1.88$ would be 159$ so a roll would be about 170$

I have a roll like that. It has lasted my 8 projects and probably has another 20 projects in it before I could ever use it all.
