I squeegied on all of the resin so it was very
: thin. I mixed around 16 ounces for the wet-out process ( never used it
: before ) and had a few ounces of waste. First fill coat took around 6 or 8
: oz. and the second fill coat only took about 4 or 5 oz. I believe I used
: the same on the third fill coat, which wasn't really needed. This was my
: first time with fiberglass and it came out very nice.

Rehd:

I'm not really clear on what your quantities above indicate . Do you mean that you mixed batches of 16 oz at a time for wet out and 4-5 oz at a time for the second coat before the resin was to viscous to work with?
