how much resin?

[rustyspurs]

Hi all,
how much resin do you guys think ill need for a 6ft by 3ft by 2ft plywood tank. i need to cover 4.5 m2, plus the extra ill need for the joints.
im using general fibreglass resin with a potable topcoat.
The kits are sold by weight and im not sure if i need 5, 10, or 20kg.
Any advice welcome as ive bought the glass and have until friday( delivery day) to get the tank sealed,
cheers Paul

thanks for the offer brian but im finished the fibreglassing( thank god), i got the glass for £135 at glass seal which i think is a great deal, though a new start told me the glass was on the lorry and would be delivered yesterday, turns out it isnt even cut yet and itll be mon or tues before i get it.
