I don't know about burlap, but fleece is used only to get the shape, it is not very strong by itself.

I would almost say gloves are necessary, but a mask is really a must. That shiz is hella bad for you, and not having a headache makes it alot easier. Take your time masking everything off, if there is a possiblilty fiberglass resin can get on something, it will.

You'll need acetone (or equivalent) also. If you get it on something, and you need to get it off, it will probably set by the time you get some acetone, and then it's too late.

Instead of regular mat or cloth, use knytex, or combo mat, or the thickest mat you can get (go to a boat shop, or fiberglass distributor to get it, they will answer you Q's there too probably, maybe even give you a demo).

Be prepared to be a little frustrated your first time or two, but it's not that bad, and is very cool stuff once you get comftorable using it.

Good luck
