Are you in an area with boats? A marine supply store usually has a
good selection and they also have fiberglass tape. Not the sticky
stuff but just the glass. Trying to cut the square of cloth into
strips tends to go south fast as you try to paste the unraveling
strands into place.

I am (Boston)! And there's a marine supply place nearby. I hadn't
thought of that. Good idea - thanks.

This may have to wait a couple of weeks. I'll be traveling next week.
When I get back I hope the weather will be more amenable.

The marine stuff is much better but 10 times the cost. YMMV.

If it's epoxy resin and fiberglass fabric he wants, many places have
it, including Home Depot, Lowes, maybe Walmart and local hardware store
too. I'd bet they are less expensive than a marine store.

Maybe, but read it carefully before buying. Most of those are polyester resin rather than epoxy. Every time I've looked for epoxy it's cost a lot more.

Epoxy is stronger and safer to work with (less likely to cause a chemical sensitivity reaction and less vapors) but more expensive.

Like the man said, it's a small repair outdoors on a car. He's not building a boat hull. But then I used crazy glue, 50 cents, to each his own.
