You can get some light mat and cloth at walmart, auto part stores, and boat supply stores locally. Several places to find it online as well. Fiberglast.com uscomposites.com just a couple //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

no tanto //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

To get started all you really need is

mat and or cloth

resin and hardener

RUBBER GLOVES

Some disposable chip brushes

plastic containers to mix resin in

some sharp scissors to cut the mat / cloth

I suggest a fiberglass roller. You can do with out it. But once you have used one, you will smack yourself for not buying one sooner.

a couple plastic spreaders

And lots of ideas .........//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah you can do just pods. Looks are dependant upon you and your skills. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

plastic containers to mix resin in

I use paper cups and/or paper paint buckets. cheaper than plastic.

Yeah, but I can reuse plastic. Just let the resin dry, then squeeze the cup. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
