Is there a better, less expensive epoxy and where can I purchase it ? Or, should I stick with West ? I will probably not need more than a few quarts to a gallon.

The epoxy you might be looking for is called vinylester. Or more properly, epoxy vinylester . It works like poly and wets out mat. And has a nice low viscosity. And has mechanical properties better than West system epoxy.

Merton's sells it. Data sheet is attached.
