How much is enough?

[Homerr]

I thought I would start a post concerning how much stuff to use while you're building or repairing your boat.<br /><br />For example:<br /><br />How much glass should you use when bedding stringers?<br /><br />How much resin (typically) should you use?<br /><br />How strong is 'strong enough'?<br /><br />I know most of the quantities will vary from each job, but if anyone has a general formula, please share.<br /><br />H.
