FGI (Fiberglass International) is all over Australia, see 
http://www.fgi.com.au/home.html for your location

A sheet of 4' X 8' X 2" costs me around AU$100.  I never use a solid block, I 
use bits of foam glues together with a micro slurry to build a ruff shape and 
then sand.
Be carefull not to get micro slurry in joints where you have to sand!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Subject: KR> foam and resin


  A question for Australians, can anyone tell me where I can get some foam 
from, I have tried about 6 companies locally in Sydney but they all charge 
something like $1000 for a block of foam about 4 ft by 2 ft by 1 ft, and if any 
one can advise on a good resin for glassing and where I can get it then that 
would help too, there are so many differret brands available I would much 
prefer to use something that is known to work, rather than something that the 
fibreglass salesman thinks will work.
