Boat Building Fiberglass Kit - 5 Yards 1708 + 5 Yards 1.5oz Mat + 5 Gallons Resin

The real-project bundle: ten total yards of the two fabrics every hull job runs on, plus five full gallons of marine-grade polyester layup resin to wet all of it out. Stringers, transoms, hull sides, molds, and buildup layers, bought once at a project price instead of piecemeal.

What is in the kit:

• 5 yards x 50" of 1708 biaxial fiberglass, folded pack (17oz +/-45 stitched biaxial with 3/4oz mat backing)
• 5 yards x 50" of 1.5oz chopped strand mat, folded pack (about 62 sq ft)
• 5 x 1 Gallon of marine-grade polyester layup resin
• MEKP hardener to catalyze the full five gallons at 1%

Coverage: the two fabrics together are about 125 sq ft. At standard hand-layup ratios that takes roughly 4.3 gallons including normal waste, so five gallons lays up every yard in the kit in a single layer with margin left for fill coats. Use the mat as your first layer against the mold or old laminate and the 1708 for structure.

Chopped strand mat has a styrene-soluble binder, so this kit is polyester-only by design. Smaller job? See the 5 yard mat and resin kit or the 5 yard 1708 and resin kit.
