Yes you can get resin from a boat shop and yes it'll probably be a hell of alot cheaper! Look for Polyester resin and it should come with a large tube of hardener, I suggest you go ahead and buy another tube of hardener Resin from a Boat shop? -- posted image.

Most boat shops around my area don't sell resin.

I buy it all the time from a local boat shop. He would only sell it to me in very large amounts. But the price was right.(ever seen a 55 gallon drum of resin with a pump tap on it.......i have...HAHA) Pump what you need into a can a mix with hardener.

The one time I bought a 55 gallon drum it was like $800. Its not a bad price but I just don't need that much at once. WestMarine is a nationwide retailer and they carry resin. You can go to there webpage and see if there is one near you.
