Re: How much Resin

Just a couple of questions, what size is the boat (and motor) and is this epoxy or polyester resin?

Re: How much Resin

Sorry, I didn't even look at the link the first time.<br /><br />It will take a couple of gallons at least, most of the time it costs less to by a 5 gallon pail, then you will have a little left over incase you make a mistake, or if some gets hard before want it to.<br /><br />When using poly always put a layer of mat down first, it will bond much better than roving or cloth.<br /><br />Make sure the presevative is completely dry, even then it may interfere with the poly bonding (or anything) to the plywood.
