Mix glass/epoxy

It is important to have the correct mix between epoxy/polyester and glass. When you do a handlayupp something around 30% glass is very god. If you have only 10% glass you will have a heavy and weak boat (not very funny). Epoxy is only 10% stronger than polyester but the shape of the curve is the same

%glass is from right to left and strength from bottom to top
