It can cure at room temperature within 48 hours so you would have a very short outlife if you used it to make a form of pre-preg. Also it may well be damaged during the freezing process and once at room temperature would just be a runny resin again. Warren Penalver Easy Composites / Carbon Mods - Technical Support Assistant

If you want to make it yourself then pick a high viscosity resin with a long pot life and a high tg, Huntsman do a prepreg resin range. But consider the following: If you're trying to save money then in reality just buy the stuff - by the time you've got the resin, fabric and backing layers plus factor in your time to make it - just buy it, If you're doing it to prove to yourself you can and want to experiment then carry on and please post the results up
