Im just getting into fiberglass and i just have a couple quick questions about materials...I dont have alot of money to be spending just so you know.. Ok question 1, should i use fiberglass cloth? or is it ok to use fiberglass mat?.. My 2nd question is should i use polyester resin or epoxy resin? Well thats all for now any help would be greatly appreciated....

1. I always use mat myself because it is easier to work with. But cloth does have the advantage to be stronger. But then mat has always been strong enough for my needs, so why switch? fiberglass materials -- posted image.

2. I always use polyester resin. I think epoxy resin is designed for specific uses. But a good polyester tooling or laminating resin will work just fine. BTW, the cheapest place I have found to buy fiberglass equipment is at www.uscomposites.com .
