Hello everyone!
Hope everyone's having a good day!
I wanted to introduce myself to all of you!
I'm Rudis, from Latvija! I'm new to the composite world, but i have studied it quite a bit!
My question is, what is the best way to get started? What should i order first? I don't have anything right now to begin with....
Any tips or tricks are welcome too!
Planing, or at least, will be trying to make some car parts!
Wanted to know when do i need to use all of these polyester resins, vinyl resins, and so on......
What's the best way to start?
Thanks a lot, cheers!

I would look at a small project to begin with.  Perhaps a small car part or similar.  First of all watch as many videos as you can so you can decide on a method to choose - eg wet lay, vac bagging, resin infusion etc.
Then have a go with a small part first to limit your expenditure while you practice and learn.
