Ideally you’d get a bit of peel ply, some release film (could also be Glad wrap tbh), some breather cloth, a roll of vacuum bagging tape (the gummy stuff) and one of those vacuum bags for people who can’t pack their bags properly. I think it’d make a pretty decent vacuum bag which you can depressurise with a vacuum cleaner, won’t be as good as a serious bag depressurised with a pump but that would be prohibitively expensive. You are likely to be able to buy all of these things at the shop you’re getting your fibers and epoxy, but maybe not in the tiny quantities you need.

In that case you’ll appreciate my opinion. I’d sand it back a bit further towards the headtube so you can reinforce it with long strips. And ideally you’d want to vacuum bag it, to ensure the new layers bond properly to the existing stuff, maybe look into household alternatives for that. And do some practice runs, my preferred method for wet layups was pre-impregnating the dry fibers on a flat table and then putting those wet layers on the workpiece.
