SO a quick set of calculations...and each pair of doors uses 11kg of resin! No wonder I am chewing through it. Given that infusion gives the best resin to fabric ratio and has one of the lowest wastage of any of the home layup methods it makes you wonder where 5.5kg of resin goes when it makes a 4kg door?

Other shocking facts: each door I made this weekend cost me $915 in resources. I think I estimated closer to $700 when people first asked me last year.

Not a cheap hobby.
