S&G: New to the forum, some questions

I'm new so please bear with me.
I'm interested in building a S&G Guillemot as a first attempt to build a wood kayak. My ultimate goal is to build a strip kayak, but I want to start with something simpler.
I have glassed boats, surfboards and foam core sea kayaks before, so that is not new to me.

I have figured out I need 3 sheets of 4x8 plywood.
How much fibreglass cloth do I need, or maybe which width should I get? I see there is 30" and 50".
The epoxy also confuses me, which type should I get and how much of it?

Thanks in advance.
Ettienne
