not got the link here, but a company called ABL-Stevens.

Material(t-shirt) is easier, but fibreglass mat is stronger.

thats if ur using it for ICE, why do you need it, and i can then advise you a little better.

buy some of that body repair mesh, its very thin easily bendable aluminium mesh for repairing body work, on my door builds i wrapped it round the mdf ring then fibreglassed over the top, very strong and you dont completely cain up the amount of fibreglass u use, mesh is really cheap, bout 50p a pack.
