I was looking around at supplies for making something out of fiberglass.

Does anyone know what all you need to try it out?
There doesn't seem to be any Beginner Fiberglass Kits :D

I know there are allot of unknown variables to this question,
I basically want to make something small like a front panel, and a possibly a 1.5'ft Boat. What type of Fiber Fabric. .or hardener will I need?

I know theres a Tutorial (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9290) on this, but the chemicals are netherland and referred to only as resin. There are just way to many different kinds.

Can someone who knows suggest beginner Fiberglassing supplies, Please.

if you look in a car parts shop with all the bodywork stuff theyll probably have all you need

ya, local hardware store that carries auto body repair should have the sheets, hardner and resin thats all you should need, just make sure they're matching brands some brands of each don't work well together. oh and you'll want the mini squeegies so you can press the fiberglass smooth, very important for keeping bubbles out.
