 You might be able to get it cheaper in bulk if you buy it at the hardware
store (polyester resin for fiberglass).  Also, in the original post the
poster was talking about melting plastics.  The plastics being discussed
by everyone else are thermosets, which means they don't melt.  The Tg is
more a measure of where they degrade, not a melting temperature as with
thermoplastics such as polyethylene.

  Sounds like other people here are more expert at this stuff than me, so
correct me if that's wrong.  I got a B in my polymers class :(
