ok, its pretty simple. you buy fibreglass matting, a resin and a hardner from halfords. follow instructions (pea sized amount of hardner to something or other resin)
now the hard bit, get a short bristle brush and DAB it on to the matting, dont do too much at a time as it\'ll just go into a sticky mess, also if you put too much fobreglass on its a bastard to sand down.

you can buy isopon p38 (or is p40

) in a tin and just add the hardner, thats nice and easy. and what id recommend instead of matting

to get a smooth finish on the install you\'d need the p40smoothing filler and sand paper and patience

buy some have a play around thats what id say its not too expensive

how do you get the shape?

build the rough shape out of MDF, and use fibreglass to build up the layers untill its the shape but not smooth, then P40 to smooth over.
once fibrglass is set its a bugger to sand down, so use it bit at a time.
