| Materials Estimate? I am having a little trouble figuring out the amount of materials I will need to complete my resto. It is an 18' deep V. I am using coosa bluewater 26 composite for stringers(3/4" laminated to 1 1/2"), transom 1 1/2", and floor 1/2". -4 stringers, 2@14' long and 2@8' long. - total length of fillets incl transom is about 100' - tabbing in the floor has about 45' of perimeter - deck for gas tank in front I think I will need: - 165 feet of biax tape for stringers and tabbing the floor, and gas deck. - 6 yds of 60" E type 4 or 6 oz cloth for the floor. - 4 yds of 50" 12 oz double bias cloth or similar for inside of transom. - 2 yds of 50" 12 oz double bias cloth for motor mounts(likely too much?) I am going to use system 3 epoxy. Is 7.5 gallons of resin and hardener enough or should I get the 15 gallon unit? How much thixotropic powder, microballons and milled fiber should I get? Also how many rollers squeegees, brushes, mixing and measuring cups am I likely to use? I know it is hard to tell but those that have been there before may help. Attached is a pic of the boat. |
