I just finished wetting out the hull of the guillemot. I chose to use the 3.2 oz 40 x 40 weave from thayercraft as per bills prier useage. The wetout went well. I used two full layers of the cloth on the bias, the cloth was 44 inches wide.
I used no seal coat and 27 oz of mixed resin (silvertip) preheated so it was thin as water. Shop temp was 30 degrees and kicked down to 20 degress when I started the layup.
Question is, is 27 oz of resin about right for this layup or on the deck should I be more aware of useage? Also, how many fill coats can I expect with this cloth? The cloth right now is a consistant matte look. And finally what is the most efective way of applying fill coats for the best use of resin?
Thanks everyone
