From the packing list of my Guillemot kit from Newfound:

6 oz. x 60" Fiberglass Cloth - 6 yards 6 oz. x 38" Fiberglass Cloth - 12 yards Resin, Gallon, MAS Low Viscosity Epoxy - 1 gallon Resin, 1/2 Gal, MAS Low Viscosity Epoxy - 1/2 gallon Catalyst, 3 Quart MAS No Blush Epoxy - 3 qt

I'm running very low on epoxy, but the coaming and taping the seams is all I have left to cover. I should have enough to finish it.

Hope this helps,

Woody
