I dunno about tooling gel, but Im pretty sure you can get epoxy at pretty much any hardware store.

Are you thinking fiberglass resin? Epoxy resin is clear and what they use on boats and for carbon fiber. There are a couple stores I’m going to call today.

I buy my product form Fiberglast. System 2000 epoxy resin. The only resin I use in components, especially structural.
Plan on buying a vacuum degasser if you plan to mix anything more than a pint at a time.
Same with tooling gel.
Spend the money on good product from a reputable supplier that actually has continued sales so the product hasn’t been sitting on the shelves for 80% of it’s shelf life…
