Hey epoxy fiberglass guys?

I need to order my epoxy. I am going with 4oz and will be using 17 yards. How much epoxy do I need?

More than you realize. I just finished a 16.5 ft kayak, and have gone about halfway into my third gallon. Probably half of that amount was just for the fiberglass.

Do you know how much cloth you used? 3 coats?

I did 3 gallon from raka and used a little less than 2. It doesn't really go bad, so I have plenty for a piroque I'm planning

I used 4 yards of 6oz and 3 of 4oz. I can't recall the width, perhaps 50".
