i work at a marina and 1 quart cans of resin are about $13.00. How come West System or MAS epoxies are twice as expensive? Are all resins considered epoxies?

I’d be interested on what brand of epoxy that is.

No, not all resin is epoxy, there are also vinylester and polyester resins. There are significant differences, Google describes it better than I can.

but...
I think it matters who your supplier is, are you paying wholesale or retail?
I also work for a marine company. We get MAS quarts for $14 and West for $12/qt when we buy by the gallon. But we stock the stuff by the pallet, and use TONS of it.

It's just some generic resin sold in the ship store.
