Where do you guys in non Marine cities buy your fiberglass? I looked at like AutoZone and Smyth and they carry some but its not a great deal on it. I was hoping to find some locally. I live in southwest Ohio and I have tried home improvement stores and they carry and little sack of a mat but nothing the size I need. I want to fiberglass my plywood for my floors and also fiberglass in my stringers but can't really find enough.

Where should I look or anyone have a suggestion for soutwest Ohio ( Hamilton/Fairfield area)?

Thanks,
Nate

fiberglasssite.com and uscomposites.com are two good places I know of, and from what I have read alot of people use fiberglassite.com.

i found a local place that fills industrial orders. they didn't have everything i needed but had 5 gal buckets of poly resin. shipping is expensive on that stuff. i doubt they can help you but this is their website...might help you search for something up there... http://www.joscoproducts.com/

I second fiberglasssite.com. Especially for the glass. They don't fold the glass, it comes on a cardboard tube. Keeps it from getting kinked/messed up from being folded.

Well I have looked there for the fiberglass. Ok next question I have read many different recipes for how and what to use on stringers but what have you guys used?

Also what is bested to seal the top plywood to be waterproof? CSM or Cloth? and weights?
