clear resins

o.k. i've read the resin sticky and there really wasn't anything that would help me out to much. here's my question.

is there a good cheaper but pretty clear resin out there? i don't need much since i'll only be doing a few parts a year just for myself. and i don't have a pressure pot system. so i would need something that would lend itself to lower air bubbles. i'd like something that cures fairly quick, but if a longer cure time will reduce the bubbles i'll go that route. any info on this will help.
oh, and where i might find said resins. stores? websites? thanks

I know that the resin that Vector uses to cast their clear aircraft canopies has to cure under heat for 24h, he still has a 20%+ reject rate. I don't know the brand though.
