It definitely does not apply to knitted glass and epoxy where the
glass/resin ration is about 50/50.


The above applies ONLY to vacuum bagging. 70% resin is optimistic for a home

Also, epoxy/knitted glass laminates are much thinner and lighter weight
than polyester/mat/roving for equal strength.


This is NOT a structural application. It's canoe hull sheathing, abraision
resistance and fir ply check checking.
