I have no idea what youre asking - wtf is Hessen? - and used right Fibrglass "matting" ( Depends what u want CSM, Low/High GSM, Bi-axial, Tri-axial, Quadraxial, Woven Rovings) will have a better finish, better quality and strength properties and finally weigh foOK all
As for the resin quantity - it depends very much on what matt your using

i'd jus say buy one of the fiberglass kits, come in yellow boxes in the make i've used. Get the right amount of hardener/resin/matting. even tho i ended up using too much resin 1st time which is why i ran out

wot are u asking? are u saying you want the fabric to strecth over to make the shape before you fibreglass? if so just use anything, such as fleece. that will absorb the resin and set and then u can fibreglass over this.
if this is not wot ur asking then make more sense!
and as for resin, just buy a tin from halfords should do u. if your going to be doing a lot more tho would make more sense t go to www.resinsupplies.co.uk or something like that

that stuff is crap, nything made with it will end up cracking, best of mixing your resin and using sheets of fibreglass, then rubbing it all down, and use some bodyfiller to make it all nice and smooth
