For smaller jobs including one-off repairs, school/university projects, prototypes and much more, you'll find that our starter kits are a cost-effective way to get small quantities of all the materials you need. If you find you do need materials in larger quantities then all of the materials used in our starter kits are available to buy from us in larger quantities too.
All our composites starter kits come with full instructions and a number of the kits are accompanied by tutorial videos too.
