Try System Three's $10.00 trial kit. It contains their excellent book explaining use of fiberglass and epoxy, 8oz of resin and 4 oz of hardner, a piece of light fiberglass cloth, small quantities of several substances used to make glues and fairing compounds, latex gloves and stir sticks. Reading about epoxy/fiberglass only gos so far. The kit lets you do some hands on experimenting. (I have no commercial or personal connection with System Three but have been pleased with their products.)
