Hello all!

It's getting close to that time when I'll be needing to acquire the resin, cloth, and associated paraphernalia. I found a more or less local source for MAS epoxy, but they aren't into selling cloth. :-( I remember reading quite a while back that not all glass and epoxies are compatible, so I'm somewhat nervous about this. Is it too much to expect that whoever I purchase the glass from will know about this? Another thing, can someone - or everyone :-) please tell me the difference between phenolic micro-balloons, quartz micro-spheres, and CAB-O-SIL (and maybe milled fibre)? What are their uses and properties, ie. colour when wet-out, density, "sandability", strength, etc. Until now I hadn't really needed to know about these products, so it's about time I became more informed.

Thanks in advance for any help.
