Don't use fiberglass cloth as it adds weight and complications. I suggest you do it outside as the fumes from the methyl-ethyl-ketone will make you high then give you a tremendous headache. If you want to add color add pigment. Any boat or yacht supply should have these materials. I would recommend the "boat-marine" product over others as it maintains flexibility (doesn't crack) over time. asparaco/chicago
