: 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

: price break on 30 or more. Good luck. Regards, Scott.

Hi Scott,

I was wandering how many layers of glass you put on your boat inside and out with the 30 yards of glass. I will be ordering the same amount of glass and epoxy as you did when I get to that point I think. I want to try the new 5 oz glass, and I used the Raka 127/350 on my last boat and really liked it.
