: Help! I was just looking at Noahs website and their Guillemot kit comes with
: 2 1/2 gals. of epoxy. Nicks book says 1.1 gal. Can someone who has glassed
: a Guillemot help me?

1.1 is about the minimum you can get away with if you are used to working with epoxy and don't waste much. 2.5 is more than enough, but probably not so much more that you will feel you really wasted your money if you are new to working with epoxy. Just try not to use too much or your boat will be heavier than need be.

Personally, I would try to get 1.5 gallons.
