I'm getting ready to order my resins and fiberglass. Glen-L offers a kit that includes 3.3 gallons of resin with hardener for the Zip. Is that enough product to glass the bottom, encapsulate the interior of the hull and do the deck top and bottom or will I need more? I'd like to order it all at once.

I have enough West 105 and 205 to assemble the frames, but what are people using to glue the plywood planking to the frame?

Also, is the Lloyd's certified Joubert BS 1088 Okoume ply (AA) worth the extra money over the regular Okoume BS 1088 (AB) ply?

Thanks,

Roberta

I believe the epoxy in a fiberglass kit is the amount needed to fiberglass only.

Thank you. I did discover the amounts needed to encapsulate on the Glen L site.
