Materials for glassing the hull

Today a big order arrived containing the materials needed for reinforcing the hull: biaxial glass cloth, resin and fairing compound filler. After much research and deliberation I went with an all West System solution, mostly due to the ample documentation and their reputation. They are maybe a bit more pricey that regular off the shelf stuff, but I could order everything in one go, everything came nicely packaged and, quite important: their resin is easy to use: flows/mixes nicely and comes with metering pumps and everything.
The glass came factory prepackaged in 5m rolls, not folded as often happened when I was buying glass from other suppliers. The plans call for at least 200g/m^2 woven cloth, I went with 300g biaxial, the laminate should be about the same weight due to better glass to resin ratio and be (a lot) stronger. Does the additional strength matter? Probably not, as the design with 200g woven has proven itself and is plenty strong. But the biaxial might be a bit smoother and therefore easier to fair - big question since I never used biax before, probably just wanted to try something new :)

As for actually glassing the hull: I'm not ready yet, working on plating it right now, I'll describe the whole process of plating in a single post once it is done, which should be soon.
until then.
