    WET vs DRY FRP thickness and fiber/resin ratio

    I try to find Wet vs Dry thickness and fiber vs resin ratio on total weight for differents material. Gerr give somes info about that but he dont give too many info about Bi-axial. So I will give some kind of material and what I have for information. If some boby have best information, please, upgrade de the chart. I assume Hand Layup without Vaccum with ortho-poly resin.

    Dry thick. Wet thick. Fiber ratio

    Mat 1.0 oz/sq ft ? 0.032 28% Mat 1.5 oz/sq ft ? 0.048 28%
    Woven Roving 18 oz/sq yd 0.021 0.031 38%
    WR 24 oz/sq yd 0.033 0.041 38%
    Combo WR+Mat 1810 (WR18+1.0 Mat) 0.043 0.063 35%
    Combo WR+Mat 2415 0.067 0.089 34%
    Biaxial 0-90 (18 oz/sq yd) 0.024 ? ?
    Combo Biaxial 1808 (18+mat 0.75) 0.035 ? ?
    Combo Biaxial 2408 (24+mat 0.75) 0.043 ? ?
    Combo Biaxial 45-45 1708 (17+ mat 0.75)0.034 ? ?
    4-axe (0-90-+/-45+mat) (7+6+6+6+1.5) 0.035 ? ?

    I find data on http://www.fiberglassfiberlink.com/

    Also, will be interresting to find Strench and Elastic Modulus for theses products in lamination with ortho-poly resin.

    Please dont assume my data true, recalculate
