Things You'll Need

  • Internet
  • Phone
  • Money
  • First, figure how much fiberglass cloth you will need and how quickly you need it. If you need only a small amount of fiberglass cloth to do a repair, (such as a boat patch or auto-body repair) you can buy this material at a local auto parts or boat supply store.

  • Figure out what kind of fiberglass cloth you will need. If it is a heavy-duty application, you will want a cloth that is over "24 oz". If it is for a light cosmetic repair, 8-12oz fiberglass cloth will be suitable.

  • So you figured out how much fiberglass cloth you need, and its more then a just small amount. Do an online search for "composite material suppliers", and visit the various websites that sell fiberglass.

  • Call the companies directly and compare costs. Be sure to ask for details on on fiberglass fabric weight, width of fabric, and shipping costs.

  • Buy the fabric, and wait for the shipment.
