In Response To: Material: Price of Fiberglass (Ken Sanders)

I just went to the currency converter in the net and found that you paid $488.00 US for your supplies. That's a whole bunch of money, CDN or USD. You can get Raka for about $85.00 (us) or the brand mentioned in the post below for less than that even...Even with shipping , that's a considerable savings. Also, Clark Craft of Tonowanda, NY offers boatbuilding epoxy and they are right across the Ontario border near Niagra Falls.

Cloth shouldn't cost you MORE than $7.00 US dollars a yard and that's a stretch. I paid $4.70 US or about $6.61 CDN for the 38" width. Shop around on the net and you'll do better.
