    I googled till my eyes bled, yesterday. Just couldn't pin it down :(

    Anyone know where I can get some epoxy, to cover fifty square feet, please?

    Thanks.

    Are you sure you want Epoxy? When I read your post I immediately thought that fiberglass would be what you'd use?

    OK so you use an Epoxy resin on fiberglass but try searching for fiberglass instead.

    https://www.fibreglassdirect.co.uk/ seems a good start ask them.

    Thanks for that, 3cents! I've bookmarked that place and shall be talking to them.

    I didn't keep the page where the expert said fibre glass matting isn't suitable for my purpose, and why, though :confused: Can't remember now. Most annoying. But, there's something about it .....

    But, yes; They sell plain resin too. Can probably supply that blue bottled stuff on its own, if that's what I need. It's for a wooden fish tank, see? Can't see what's wrong with FG. But, there we are.

    Thanks!
