exactly. www.mytelus.com or www.canada411.com ant search for "fibreglass" in "toronto" and you should get the industrial sellers.

Also try boating fabricators and repair shops.

Just a question but why would you mix resin and body filler together to reinforce from behind when you could make your own 'kitty hair' by mixing up resin and chopped up fiberglass mat? Would be cheaper and stronger since you are getting the fibrous advantage of the mat compared to body filler which really has no strength of it's own?

WHen you guys say body filler, you mean, two stage putty...right? Fiberglass putty...right? There is a difference between polyester putty and body filler...body filler should only be used on bare metal...polyester putty can be used on pretty much anything.

i wouldnt use rage and resin to reinforce from the back, if it sounded that way, thats not what i meant. you can reinforce with lots of different things, ive used pl400, resin mixed with lead wheel weights(adds mass very well) and kitty hair. i mix rage with resing fot the 1st coat on the front, sands easy and smoother for me
