For example if i have 200gr/sq mt twill glassfiber cloth what is the volume of resin that it will absorbs? How many grams? Generally, does fiberglass absorbs more resin than carbonfiber? For the same weight of clothes (i.e 200gr twill) which will be the heavier product after the resin infusion? and if you know does the difference will be countable? or it does not matter? And also what is the better type of resin that i can use. Epoxy, polyester?
