Where can I buy Fiberglass resin and Hardener. Also, I am just glassing over MDF. So, I don't need additional support or strengthening. Do I still need fiberglass mat or will just coating my fleece in the resin work?

Why would you use fleece to go directly over mdf??? That makes no sense.
What are you trying to do?

I am building a sub enclosure and an amp rack out of MDF as I always do. However, usually, I carpet them. This time I want to fiberglass them so I can paint them to a shiny finish.

I wouldnt even worry about putting fiberglass in it. I would just put a couple coats of resin on it so it will be smooth, then sand, primer, paint. Or you could just put bondo on the wood and sand and paint it. IMO, the resin will be easier cause you can just paint it on, and it should not have any bubbles or prep work to it.

Appreciate it. That is exctly what I needed to know. What type of resin. I know I can buy fiberglass resin at a boat supply store for 15.00 a gallon. Will that do it?
