Epoxy, resin and fiberglass can be found at any auto parts store so Lordco, Napa, Canadian Tire, hell I bet even Wal-Mart carries it.

As for magnets, not going to happen locally. Princess auto sells packs of really tiny ones. You may be able to source them from a motor rewind shop but really, otherpower is the best place to buy them in my opinion

    • Wind Turbine Project Field Notes
Industrial Plastics and Paints, for most of it except the magnets.
KJ Magnetics has good selection.
No one believes the theory except the one who developed it. Everyone believes the experiment except the one who ran it.
System spec: 135w BP multicrystalline panels, Xantrex C40, DIY 10ft (3m) diameter wind turbine, Tri-Star TS60, 800AH x 24V AGM Battery, Xantrex SW4024

Two mail-order plastics sources have proven very reliable for me, and they likely ship to CA

http://www.fibreglast.com/?gclid=CMXn_c-l07YCFRQDnAodDwkAzA  is right down the street from me, but they won't sell over the counter.

http://www.discountmarinesupplies.com/West_System_Epoxy_Prepackaged_Kits.html  has the West system, which I used with great success

KJ magnetics http://www.kjmagnetics.com/  has quality stuff,
but this outfit usually has cheaper price for same magnets http://www.magnet4less.com/ 

All these sources have good customer service, IMO
