Wrong section. Post here (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=62) next time you have a question. Fiberglass fabric shouldn't be too hard to find. I wouldn't know any place online to buy it. I try and do everything I can, as local as I can.

Never bought any, but I have seen it at my local Auto Zone. No, fiberglass insulation won't work.

Try these guys, Never used them but I've been told there pretty good.
www.aircraftspruce.coml (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/cm/fiberglass.html)

To get good finish use one layer of cloth, then a few layers of mat (looks like randomly ordered fibers but is really strong) then cover it with a layer of cloth. That gives the out side and inside a nicer finish but is strong, with lower cost.

Welcome to TBCS,
Make sure to start a work log (include the mold making!!!! if you got pics)
