: Someone tell me where to buy the sleeves or what they are called.
: The are woven tubes of fiberglass with no resin, correct?. Was
: there a thread where Mr. Maroske described how to do it?

A couple of sources in the US that I've used (both ship to Canada, BTW):

http://www.cstsales.com/braided_glass_sleeve.html

Another approach is to forego the glass sleeve and use Bondo with milled fiberglass (aka Bondo 'Hair') - Sean Dawe described it:
