In 123.jpg file.
1. Gauge the correct amount of resin
The amount of resin that your project will need will vary upon its size and the amount of reinforcement you have
used; more layers of reinforcement will be able to support more resin.
Use the table below to calculate approximately how much resin your finished part will use (see the PART column), and
how much you should mix (see the MIX column) to ensure you have enough project will require:
see the 234.jpg

so we can calculate the resin weight content is 80/(200+80)=28.5%, This is very very low.
Is it right? OR we often beliven the resin weight is 40%?

A nice excel spreadsheet for calculating resin usage would be awesome.  Anyone fancy doing one?  :lol:


Already done one, but it's part of my quote system... Wouldn't actually mind sharing it if you want it. Pretty simple, you enter the length and width of the part and then tell it how many layers of each type of fabric. Then it tells me how much the part will cost me, how much I should be charging for it, how much resin it will use, and if I tell it to it will subtract the amount of material used from my current stock list. 

I freakin love Excel Tongue


hey hanaldo, hope you're good! any chance you would pm me your spread sheet please?
