Best place to buy fiberglass supllies?
« on: August 06, 2015, 09:42:26 AM »
I am finally getting started on the stringer, floor and transom replacement of the CVZ-18 I bought last fall.
Where is best place to get vinyl-ester resin, cabisol, matt and cloth?
And by best I mean cheap with fast and fairly priced shipping.
The closer to the Northeast the better.

thanks,

Scott

These guys were great.   I did not know exactly what I should use for fabric and weave and weight, they guided me and they were right on with both the selection and how much to buy for the job.

Scott, I used Express Composites. Very helpful staff, see previous posts. Shipping costs to NY were reasonable with quick turnaround but the real value is in their excellent service. For the best value get the 5 gallon bucket of resin.
