    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!

    From the second link

    If you don't need the fiber glass then heres the resin on its own https://www.fibreglassdirect.co.uk/lloyds-approved-general-purpose-polyester-resin.html
