I am wondering the cost for some of the common stuff used in fiberglass that is recomended by the site. I was finnaly able to find Rage Gold filler on the island (I live on Oahu). The price quoted to me is 37.45 for 1 gallon. I also called around to different dealers to find a price on some Polyester resin, that was 35.00 a gallon.

How much are you guys paying for this stuff ? Maybe its because I live in hawaii and there are normally extra costs in shipping, and hazmat transfer that I would be paying such a crazy price for ?

The range is $29-32 in the land +sh. I don't think you're price is to high.

Those sound a little high, but to be on an island I'm sure you pay a little higher for almost everything. Locally rage = $27.99/gallon Resin = $23.99

not to mention Cost of Living is a little bit higher than in the states...damn tourists posted_image

but, those prices about what I would expect considering:
A: You're on an island
B: You're on an island

Here in Texas:
Rage Gold...haven't found it yet in San Antonio
(I go with professional gold Bondo)...about $24.00
And resin is about the same...$24.00

How much is MDF over there?
