I am a moderator on the site in question. i do nothing with the pricing or distribution of the products and/or services on the site. i am just there to help the guys that have a question on what to get or how to go about doing something. i am not tellig you you buy the products or services that are provided. i am telling you to make your own choice. it is just like anything. you are doing it of your own free will. you need to make the choices on your own. if you have issues, you can take them up with the site owner. his email is on the site. i also do alot of the approval of new members and questions. i do this before and after my day job. the one that pays my bills. i do this for no money. i do it to help people that want to learn a new skill or maybe increase their speed or knowledge of a current skill. i also do it because i know that most of the time people don't like to give out too many secret to how they do things, and that makes it hard to learn how to do the cool stuff. i had to look hard to learn the things i know, and i want to make it a little bit easier for a new group of people starting out.
there are always better or faster ways to do things. i just tell you the best way i know how. i do know that the way that is shown on the site is usually the fastest and most up to date way i know of for most of the processes.
as for the tools and materials sold and talked about on the site, those are the (and i stress) the preferences of the people that talk about them. they are not the only option.
with things like the resin that is sold. it is not the typical polyester resin you get at the marina. it is called "Isophthalic Polyester Resin". it is more stable in high heat areas and corrosive areas. is is typically more expensive.
from what i have seen, he does offer the better products on the site....i have never ordered from him so i can't say anything about that. i usually just get the same product locally by looking around. you too can do the same. most of the brands and companies are mentioned in the responses given to the questions along with some alternatives on places to buy. it is the same type of a thing as select products. he is just trying to make a place to get all the glassing stuff in one place. you can always get the same thing faster and usually cheaper if you know where to look.
and on the pay site portion you are refering to. what that is there for is an extention of the free site. it has actual video clips of him doing certain techniques and using products spoke about in the free site. it is offered strickly as extention of the learning. it is a pay site to cover certain costs involved in the making and whatnot involved in the how-to's. some people just learn better when they see it done. i know i am that way. again, it is your choice to join that site. if it is not what you wanted or need. you can always cancel your membership.
in the end all i am saying is that you can think what you want to about the site. whether you like it or not is up to you. i just wanted to maybe clear a couple things up to help out the people that might not have joined it and have no idea what we are all talking about.
thanks for reading
