Help with glass

I found a place in washington to purchase 5 gal of poly resin for $127. This company mainley deal with surf boards but they say the resin i am looking at is for boats also. Is this a good price? Where is some other places to purchase resin? I will need about 10 to 15 gal.

Where are you located? E. Coast? Left coast? US? Middle??? Shipping can make a difference, too.

I use U.S. Composites, good prices and speedy delivery. I only use epoxies, but they sell poly, too.

US Composites is $121.00 for 5 gallons and that's without shipping charge.... I have purchased from them plenty and they are great with the service. Fortunately I just found a fiberglass tub manufactuerer here close that will sell it to me for $22.00 per gallon (no matter how much I get) and there is no tax or shipping. (He pumps it out of his 55 gallon drums, and I have to bring my own bucket), but its a good price.

Thats a good price, make sure its unwaxed resin.

Yep all unwaxed, I asked, he said he doesn't buy waxed at all.
