Hej Micael jag svarar på engelska för alla andra...

Since the Epoxi is the glue you first need to concentrate on how much reinforcement you need to use. This is totally dependent on boat size, type of construction and materials used. How much epoxi you'll need to use depends on what and how much reinforcements you use.
Please specify what you want to do and what type of boat it is.

Before even considering construction, make sure the design is ok and that you recieve all the needed information for scantlings from the designer.
Speaking of the designer, he (or she but not very likely) should be able to give you all the info you need for a reasonable fee.
