Still looking For Materials

Hey folks, I'm still looking for materials here in Fresno, California. I'm finding the only fiberglass cloth to be found in the whole San Juaquin Valley is in 1 sq. yrd. pieces, at the local Home Depot. That, and it's 8 oz. or more, for auto repair. I was turned on to a name: "Fiberglast" as a source, but when I try to punch it up, I get a whole lot of mumbo-jumbo about aerospace telescopes and space tech. and something about model cars. Oh, yeh, there was something about ~~~~~Gamma-Rays~~~~~!!!!!! I'm assuming I have the wrong spelling. Any help?? For someone trying to get started on his first kayak, this is not getting any easier. The only sources I've come up with for plywood and Glass cloth is a 500 mile round trip. (#$%#%@FRUSTRATION#@$%^$)

Mike R. in Kingsburg......Thanks for the help with the plywood in Berkeley,as it's the best deal I've found. The best for Glass Cloth is in Santa Cruz. Last try is for this Fiberglast outfit. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks Again. :) Rehd
