It is dear, theres a few on here who will know more about it than I do, all I know is a carpenter that bought a hollowed ash log off me put nearly 800 quid worth of epoxy resin into it.

Probably Axminster Power Tools.  Normally you can go to one of their eight shops but right now online only.  Very small amounts just buy a pack of Araldite.

Google searching for Apoxy resin might be the biggest hurdle to over come.

It's called "two part epoxy resin".
There are many different qualities.
Prices vary depending on quality.
I don't use it myself, but most of my clients do.
I hear prices vary from about £400 for 20 litres up to over £800.
Cheap if you consider tables can sell north of 5-20k.
