      I have been to some of their classes. They are very helpful. Their salesmen are required to work in the shop a minimum of 3 hours a week so they all have hands on experience. Have not compared prices as I am happy getting information with the product. I would reccomend them.

        Other web sights say they are almost 1/2 the price as Fiberlay, will see!

        Will be needing supplies for the inside hull of the '63 Stevens.

          It seems that I can order on line and pay for shipping for the less than what I have to Drive and pay for at Fiberlay.

          Also, I don't see any plating under the engine in the engine bed.
          Mine had a big aluminum plate under it. I know why too :Scared1:

            I still use USComposites out of Florida. Just made another order the other day. 5 gallons of Vinylesther for $170. Almost half of Fiberlay's cost. Factor in shipping and it still comes out cheaper if you don't mind waiting a week for UPS ground. They also have a variety of glass and specialty fabrics, pour foam, tools, etc. No, I don't work for them. Just happy with their pricing.

              OK John pricing is better that Fiberlay's but is it better than Fiberglass Supplies out of Burlington?

                I don't know. Haven't purchased from them and they don't have pricing online.

                Shipping can be a dinger from USComposites due to weight and distance, but it always ends up being cheaper than any of the other places that have pricing.

                    Ya, I figured out where it was after I posted. duh. I'd have to do a total price breakdown and factor in ferry and travel costs. On the surface, the guys in Arlington are more expensive by around 20% or so, but there is less for shipping. It may be a wash in the end. Its good to know of a local supplier though! Wish I had heard of these guys when I started buying material.
