: As glassing time approaches, I wonder if I can get supplies at chain stores
: like Home Depot or Menards or.....---Please advise - Scott E. -Thanks

My first S&G (actually it was clamp, nail, screw wire -- you name it we used that -- and tape)was built with Standard Paint fibreglass 20 years ago. Standard Paint fold a few years back. Then, I bought my fibreglass from Home Depot. Theirs are small, fold and made for polyester -- not too clear. Then, Tap Plastic opened a store not too far from where I work. They are decent and much cheaper than Home Depot -- spell that "large quantity sale." My most recent creation was built on left over Tap Plastic cloth / resin and Raka. I don't think I'll ever go back to anything else. Raka is much better and much cheaper.
My advise: Go to Raka! It cannot be wrong!
