And now I remember how much I like doing it, and how much I hate it.

I just can't bring myself to fuck with the stuff. About how much in resin and glass does a typical box cost for you? I'm a cheap ass and a perfectionist, and those two are nearly mutually exclusive.

Yeah, used gloves this time.

It depends on the size of the box, and what I am doing as to how much I use.

Tonight I used about 1/4 gallon. That was to do some contours on a box that would have been a bitch to do with wood.
On an all glass/ mostly glass box, expect to use about 2 gallons.
If covering a box with carpte it is easy, and relatively fast. If covering the box with vynil or paint, then it takes a good bit more time.

I buy the resin and glass at Home Depot, $25 for a gallon of resin, and $4 per pack (9 sq.ft.) of glass. Keep in mind, that when doing glass, it needs to be 5-7 layers thick to be structural and rigid.
There are cheaper places online, but I don't want to deal with shipping when I am never home.
