Epoxy Resin?

[Kurt Rosenzweig]

Hi guys. I've been making a lot of table tops lately using a dished 3d model and then filling the relief with 2 part epoxy resin so the top is smooth and flush. Man that epoxy stuff is expensive. Does anyone have a source that may be more economical than the $80 a gallon that I'm paying now or even a new product to achieve the same effect? I have done the Google thing, but thought I'd ask here also. Any push in the right direction would be fantastic. Thanks.

Jim McGrew shared his source for epoxy resin at his Aspire Gathering last week.
Take a look at www.granitecitytool.com
Eleven bucks a quart. I haven't had time to look at the web site myself yet but the spec sheets look promising.

Uh.... Keith, which epoxy? There must be half a dozen kinds in the first page of my search results...

I have used epoxy from this company, and the prices are pretty good.
