I chose to use epoxy resin, FYI. Dries tougher and less fumes.

Default Epoxy resin is a lot better than polyester resin, albeit more expensive!

I have used West System epoxy resin many times before and it is an awesome resin, very easy to handle and realy strong. Can be mixed with a ton of different additives for different applications too. It's a tad expensive but I liked it a lot, I would probably use it instead of polyester resin in my future applications.
