I am not a fiberglass expert but you need some fiberglass mat and epoxy putty. Everyone on here usually buys their stuff from US Composites. Give them a call supposedly they are very helpful.

The thick matting you refer to is called woven roving,what you need is epoxy resin and fillers,you need cabosil and microbaloons fillers,with those,some epoxy and some cloth you can do pretty much anything as far as frp repair-reconstruction is concerned.If you have any questions feel free to pm me.
