Chopped Strand Mat: Approx. 2 pounds of resin for 1 pound of mat Fiberglass Woven Cloth: Approx. 1 pound of resin for 1 pound of cloth Biaxial (1708,1208,1808): Approx. 1-1/2 pounds of resin for 1 pound of biaxial Carbon Fiber and Kevlar Cloths: Approx. 1 pound of resin for 1 pound of cloth Your technique for application and experience will determine the exact amount needed but the ratios shown above provide a good starting point. For reference, 1 gallon of epoxy weighs about 9 pounds.
