I wouldnd go with a 2 pound face mask, you need a full out respirator with canisters just the face mask could damage your lungs. Make sure it says it can take fumes when you buy this stuff.

Make sure the contents of that fibreglass kit make sense and suit your preferences. Also, you either need Acetone to clean that one paint brush or a lot more than one of them. Same thing goes for the mixing pot from the kit: it's probably got a scale, so you can't just let the remains of your material cure inside, that will make the scale inaccurate and thus useless over time.

And what Rhinoc said about the mask is right as well.

I picked up one of those Fast Glass kits a while back from my local halfords and it only has a 250ml (8.4 fl/oz) can of resin and the measuring cup is tiny.
I've found 1kg cans with hardener for around £10 on ebay which look to be a better buy.
From memory the mating in the kit is quite small too, maybe 1m square. which I wouldn't say is enough to much more than a helmet.
