Quicker

I dunno about cheaper, epoxy is what, $5 for a small amount. Yeah you'd save money no doubt.

What chemicals do you need, and where do you buy them, and in what quantities?

yes you can make anything you wanted to, you could make a space ship, but what is the amount of time and money you have to put into it, when you can just go to CrappyTire and buy some.

 

Why did you quote me and changed whole content?

It becomes cheaper if you need it often and huge amounts.

25ml of epoxy is $5 - $12cad depending on drying time

so 1L is $200

1G(3.8L) is $750

The pricing doesn't scale linearly though.

 

A liter of West System 105 epoxy resin is under $40USD, and the matching hardener costs under $20USD.  This is stuff used for boat repair, which pretty much just makes it more expensive.  General purpose stuff is gonna be way cheaper.
