The 435 resin is the one to get if you want to get it from them. I highly reccomend you get it from Home Depot. Funny thing is it is a better Poly. resin. I personally like to get my mat from them. Get a couple yards of 3/4, 2 and 3 ounce and see what you like. Each ounce does have a purpose though so play with it. As for brushes go to a Michale's arts and crafts and get the 1 1/2" natural brushes and cut them down to about an ingh long. Good luck and I hope this helps. Oh yea....post some pictures of your projects so we can help you fix any problems before they get worse.
