Looking for more fiberglass and supplies than an auto parts shop or hardware store usually stocks. Also need some carbon fiber.

Anywhere close to BR anyone can recommend? Would prefer to buy locally.

You can google Auto Body Supplies store in your area. When I needed fiberglass chopped strand mat and woven roven mat. Ebay was cheaper by a good bit. Don't know about gelcoat or carbon fiber.

There is not much locally, if any. You’re better off ordering from a website

There’s not one in BR. Closest is Lafayette and will go there if no other local options.

There used to be a major glass supplier in NOLA. We first found them in Orleans Parish and then they started moving and were near Huey P Long Bridge in Jefferson Parish by the time we left. They were good people, I hope they survived.

I'm in the auto paint supply business and can tell you there isn't anyone in Baton Rouge. Most of my boat repair customers either order online or go to New Orleans.

If you find any carbon fiber can you make a new pickleball paddle for my wife so she will stop borrowing mine? She will give you a HJ.
