: 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

I'd have to know the square footage of cloth used to have any idea of what the resin useage means.

Takes very little resin, in comparison to more normal open weave cloth, to fill the weave with this material. I just roll it on (tip off the bubbles), most I think use a squeegie. Depends alot of how thick the resin is.
