: Hi Bill.

Keep track of those #'s ...this will give you an idea about how much is needed to glass the hull - succesive fill coats use MUCH less ... I think I used about 22 oz for the 1st coat (glass plus tape on the chines and keel plus another 2" tape job on the keel) then 11 oz for the 1st fill coat, then 6 oz for the final fill coat. And some of that was wasted in a saturated yellow foam roller, but I didn't think I could do a good job on the almost vertical side panels with a squeegee inside the living room.
