    im also hands on.....


    but i just read and read and read some more about it and then finally the other day i was looking at the stack of stereo equiptment that had been sitting in my room for like 2 or 3 months. i said fuck it and proceeded to try it out. turned out pretty well.

    home depot or lowes


    most of the stuff is in the paint dept. the fiberglass mat or cloth
    (i used mat and it was a damn mess and hard to work with. use the cloth if you decide to try it.) and the resin are next to eachother.

    you also need:
    CHEAP-O paintbrushes
    mixing cups

    (i found that if you get plastic 1qt mixing cups and let the rest of the resin dry in it when youre finished itll just peel right out.)
    sand paper
    bondo
    fleece

    ( green shows its saturation the best.... or at least thats what i read...and it works)
    MDF or 3/8" plywood.... i used plywood.
    jigsaw

    plastic paint sheeting ( like a drop cloth - used for covering carpet)
    masking tape
    rubber and latex gloves
    respirator


    TIME
    TIME
    Patience
    and an electric sander.... the smaller the better
