: I ordered 30 yards of 5 ounce cloth, 82 feet of 1 inch glass tape, 41 feet of
: 2 inch tape, 1 gallon of 127 resin, and 1/2 gallon of 350 hardener. The
: boat I'm building is almost one foot longer than yours though. Larry said
: I will be cutting it close on the epoxy, but this was consistent with
: Nick's directions. The 30 yards of cloth is a bit much, but you get a
: price break on 30 or more. Good luck. Regards, Scott.

I used the extra cloth to cut out bias tape for the stems on my Rob-Roy canoe. It may also come in handy for thigh braces and so forth. Lots of little stuff to play with. And if you come up a tad short on the epoxy, you can order the 1 1/2 qt. kit for $30.00 I believe.
