Bill,
Try Fiberlay.com, CSTSales.com, and Fiberglast.com. Seems I saw where
Bolly was packaging the stuff as well. FalconHobbies.com distributes the
Bolly stuff.

Verne: 
I came in on this thread late.  Where do you get Cabosil?  It sounds
like something I could use for a current repair on a glass fuselage.
Thanks.

Cabosil is fumed silica sand. It's extremely light weight. When mixed
with epoxy finishing resin, it creates a paste that won't run on
vertical surfaces. It's also frequently mixed with epoxy in a thinner
mix and brushed into a mold to create the external gel coat on a glass
part which prevents pinholes from making it to the surface of a part. On
a clear epoxy-cloth piece, the epoxy/cabosil mix can be seen in all the
90-degree corners to bridge the radius the cloth can't make. It'll show
as an opaque white as opposed to the clear epoxy/cloth you see
everywhere else. Down side is that it's much tougher to sand than
micro-balloons and has virtually no structural strength. Good stuff to
have around, though. I use it a lot. Verne
