Well auto zone for $13.00 has some fiberglass and resin, then you need  some free paint stir sticks from home depot,  and $0.45 paint brushes and you can use anything as a mixing cup as long as you do not mind throwing it away. I do not use the bondo spreaders for fiberglass, I have found that a paint brush works better, and you just throw it away afterwards also.

I should put my kit together and sell it, it is cheaper.

so for a trunk custom job, how much fiberglass and resin would be needed to start off with? 1 gal, 5 gal or 10 gal resin? 5, 10 or 20 yds of FG cloth?

anyone?

Depends on the job, size, layers for strength, that kind of stuff, I would say probably about 2 gallons of resin, and probably  4 packages of 8 square feet mat.

That is my guess.
