Default RE: Want to do fiberglassing... what do I need?

Another couple questions. I see that Aircraft Spruce has quart and gallon sizes. Buying the gallon size would be cheaper in the long run, but what is the shelf life of epoxy? Also, how much epoxy could I expect to use on a .60 size aircraft (foam core wings and fuselage) for the entire aircraft? Would it make sense to cover all the foam with ceran wrap and use fiberglass resin to save cost? I sure would like to bond the foam to the fiberglass, but if cutting the cost significantly, I could design around a "no bond" wing and fuselage.
