All I can say is proper ventilation and a good respirator go a long way.  With a good respirator you won't inhale any of the fibres/fumes plus you wont smell the resin while working with it.  Also it's a good idea to set down a gelcoat as a top layer on your piece.  After you have gelcoated it you can then glass the  the mold.   The gelcoat provides a nice smooth finished surface.  If you can't find gelcoat you could always use plastic resin as a replacement.  If you don't use a gel coat your piece is likely to not have all the proper angles and smoothness of your original since fiberglass resin isnt a very thin substance.  It has the consistency of thick maple syrup and its also quite sticky so wear some gloves when working with it.
