Yes i read them. But unfortunately the writer is from East Malaysia. He was saying its easy and cheap to get it there. I do not know anywhere to get it in KL or Pj area.

well, since you want fibreglass material for ICE, you can buy the fibreglass kit (with glass mat, resin and hardener, etc) in ACE hardware store, in Midvalley Shopping centre. It cost abt RM50-100 for the whole kit. Price depends on the size of the kit.
They are American product, a bit expensive but the quality of the material is good.

i have heard that fiber glass sheets can be bought from car paint shops... duno how true is dat.. mayb u can try to ask hardware shop to source for u... it will be cheaper than ACE hardware...

u may need to get the resin as well...

ty Khguan...i will try ACE. Just that i tot it would be my last option since we all know how they cut throat.

I went couple of hardware shop.. one of them had a nice amoi and she showed me way to another shop. The other shop how ever had a stuck up boss whos only phrase was "Apa?" "hhhhmmm" "tatau!" "tarak" . Was about to gamble and try at brothers but dont really like that place. plus they alwiz follow u around like u gonna steal something . An instant shadow. Flies on shit like dat =(

No offence.... just my point of view =)

[howiechoo]

can anyone list the price for the material? like say a small quantity for each of them....

 

[dingdong]

In Ace Mega Mall price is
RM27++ for the fibre cloth (8 sq ft)
Resin and hardner is around RM40+

 

[ninja_iga]

they don't sell in small quantity, which maybe a problem for most of you.

the resin (oil in chinese) is sold per 20kg tins. (RM10-12 per kg)
the fibreglass mat (Chopped strand mat) CSM is sold per KG, usually 10kg (RM10 per kg)
you'll also need:
brushes
rollers
pail to measure and mix
gloves (surgical gloves works fine)
