I'd recommend getting onto the CSF website and looking at the projects pages there, they give quite a few useful hints and tips re working with
fibre glass.
For most jobs you'll want some woven mat, some resin + catalyst and (if you need to repair the top coat) some flowcoat + gelcoat pigment to
match your gelcoat.
And lots of gloves and some stirers (I use tongue depressors cos I can get them cheapo!!).

one thing i would recomend is have a play with it first on nothing important.
nothing beats hands on practice/experiance

Don't buy from Halfords - this is an expensive way of doing things. The Locost option is to visit your local boat builders/industrial moulders,
and see if they will do you a deal.
