I am going to be doing my first fiberglassing project and i am just wondering if anyone knows where I can get some good resin and good cloth at a decent price in Toronto? Also, what kind of cloth do you guys use...I was going to use speaker cloth...hearing a lot of people use that...or something similar.

thanks in advance.

I was going to be building some build outs for the door of my car...gonna put 3 speakers in the door panel. Also, do you guys put chop mat inside the build out before you apply the body filler?

One other question...do you guys think it is better to vinyl the door or paint it? I know the new thing is to paint everything for the glass look. Also, anyone know where I can get good information on sound staging?

where do you guys buy your fiberglass and resin? The only place I can think of that will have it at a reasonable price is Canadian tire, but I am worried about the quality.
