I am just ordering supplies to experiment with infusion, now that I finally built my vacuum pump system. I would like to mostly experiment with the materials that I am most likely to use in a 50' harryproa. I have a few questions:

1) It seems like 600gsm fiberglass is mostly mentioned. That is equivalent to 17 or 18oz fiberglass, I think. Would this be biaxial +/- 45 degree with no mat? It is hard to find biaxial without a mat backing.

2) I will be getting the hydropel vinylester that George is using, but I also want to experiment with epoxy. The MAS epoxy is listed as low viscosity, but I am confused about wherther this is a 2 part or 3 part epoxy. Some references seem to indicate that the hardener is 2 part? Do I need to buy both fast and slow hardener, even if I want a slow set time for infusion or vacuum bagging?

3) This is for George: Does the little measuring bottle for the hardener come with it, or do I have to buy it seperately, because I have not been able to locate one on the lbifiberglass site with the hydropel resins.

Thanks!
