[@jeremyouellette4776]

How much epoxy did you use? (I have a 12' sailing dinghy to do and I don't want to run out part way through)

What are the dimensions of your canoe and the dimensions of the fiberglass cloth. Like 6oz 20 wide? Looking to try this for mines but not too sure on the dimensions.

[@rayplex]

We offer cloth in 3 widths 38" 50" 60"

[@raymondolson5444]

If using 2 layers of 6oz cloth , when do you recommend applying the second ?
Cloth , cloth resin ?

[@rayplex]

Apply both layers at the same time. Suggest offsetting the layers for an even finish. Ray
