My fiberglass resin is here, and I've got to say it works great. I layed up two layers of fiberglass cloth over my mold, setting it in the sun to cure for about 5-6 min between layers, and then let it set most of the afternoon. it's really cloudy today, so I am not surprised that it took longer to cure than their site says it should, but this stuff has me thinking I ought to do the whole thing in fiberglass. My biggest complaint about fiberglass has always been the short working time and temperature dependence, but with this stuff I had enough time to do the entire wet-out with a paintbrush, and at 35deg F it still set up pretty quick once exposed to sunlight. the coolest part was covering the excess resin and leaving it sit between layers, and then being able to still use it. no wasted resin!!

Here's a link to their site: [URL="http://www.solarez.com/index.html"]
