as i said: go spend some extra dime for a GOOD = high quality resin. epoxy- and polyester resin will both emit a hell lot of styrol (=utterly bad smell) if they don't have that skin forming substance.

last year i was working together with a buddy on a subwoofer enclosure. the buddy had ordered a 5 litre bottle of epoxy resin from ebay along with some fibre mats. believe me when i say: the smell of the epoxy resin came directly out of hell... although we were working outside you could smell this stuff in a radius of at least 20meters around the place... you won't make the mistake of ordering such a cheap ass resin twice.
