I too live in Mass and buying local does always mean less expensive. I still buy footbraces from CLC, but I buy my epoxy from System Three - 3 gal resin/hardner combo for $138 INCLUDING shipping. I have for the same price in MA, but would have to pay sales tax. Not sure about the cloth - my friend bought a whole roll and I've been buying off of him. If I find out where he bought it, I'll pass it on.
