Default Where can I get fiberglass in O.C.?

Anybody know where I can get glass cloth in North Orange County, CA without having to drive out to Spruce?

Default Fiberglass

Not sure where you live in the OC, but if your near the coast try West Marine. westmarine.com. I know there is one in Newport Beach and Orange CA. Also a good place to buy West Systems epoxy. A little more than Spruce but you do not have to pay for hazmat shipping.

You could try hobby shops for small amounts. Most of the better ones stock 3 different weights, usually about 1 sq. yard to a package

Do you have a Walmart or Home Depot or Lowes? All three have it.

Crystaliner in Costa Mesa. It's a boatbuilder's supply.
1626 Placentia, Costa Mesa
949.548.0292

All kinds of glass and carbon fiber cloth, West Systems resins and in general a cool place to visit. A heck of a lot cheaper than West Marine (but closed on weekends).
