   Just happened to get some today
   I got a starter kit from an auto factors near me. Included:
   Resin
   Glass matting
   brush
   gloves
   mix stick
   little cup to mix it in
   hardner
   
   all for £10!
   
   Then depending on size you may need some mesh behind it for extra support. You all need some filler

   theres no mix about it dude can get "kits" allover inc halfrauds, all you need is some glass fibre matting some resin and some hardener, motor factors and as above halfrauds are common places but even the bay you can get if your stuck

   for every 500ml of resin i use about 2 capfuls of the hardner
   
   however you mix it to the weather, more colder it is i usually add another half a capful of hardner and the more warm it is about 1 and a half capfuls
   
   theres a few types of fibreglass, the matting and the strands, matting is easier to work with on most things
   
   check on ebay for fibreglass kits, composite supplies are the best imo
