hey guys, im at a loss. I'll be fiberglassing my deck as soon as i get it all cut, 1 layer on bottom and 2 layers on top. With all this talk about the different resins and mats to use I want to narrow it down. Im told that the home depot mat is to light and the resin is not that great. What about the us composites 435 resin and what about their 1 1/2 oz mat. Im trying to go as least expensive as possible cause this thing is costing me a fortune. but I want it to last as well. Anywhere else I should get my product? thanks again

US Composites is great and their products are excellent. I would recommend getting all your supplies from them. Hopefully someone that knows a lot more about 'glassing than I do will come along and let you know what weight or cloth/mat to use. I believe USC has been very helpful to our members in the past and could probably also tell you what you need for the job you're doing.

Isn't HD pretty lenient on returns?
