Don't buy metal at lowes.
Quick google turned up this :
Metals4u metals distributor - stainless steel, aluminum, brass, pipe sheets, tubing Austin, San Antonio, Dallas TX
Also, call Austin Metal and Iron and see what they can tell you. I buy recycled or surplus materials any chance I get.

Or, use dow corning square edge XPS foam, get it from a distributor of you need to. Do not use polyester resin, it will melt the crap out of it!
Fiberglass supply and resin:

Epoxy costs, but does not react with your base material.
