evening all, hope you are all good. Looking to start skinning some parts of my bike as I was "donated" a large roll of fibre. 

Could anyone tell me how much coverage you normally get from a 500ml resin? I'm trying to work out what size I will need to cover a front and rear chain cover for my triumph Daytona. Any info greatly received.

For wet lay, you need the same amount of resin as you have fabric (by weight). So if you cut your fabric roughly to size, then weigh it, then that is how much resin you will need. Plus a bit (say 10-15%) for wastage.
