I purchase 50 yard rolls from Thayer Craft, very low cost per yard. I prefer Z poxy to finish with.

If you can't find what you need I have a large roll. Most people cut and fold. I have 3/4 oz cloth and i'll roll it out and ship in a tube. I think mine is 42" wide...PM me if you want

I agree with Carl, Z-Poxy is hard to beat. You can thin it with acetone for a lighter lay-up. For cloth, err.. all things composite, try CST.

My two cents,
