I am wanting to glass my G/P T-34 Mentor for painting and was wanting to get some kind of ratio you guy are using. Also I am going to be using 3/4 ounce cloth.

It is a tough call to give a ratio .I just mix alcohol into the epoxy so it spreads like paint.Some people mix it to a thickness of milk but I use it a little thicker.
There are probably a whole lot of opinions on this.

Get some z-poxy finishing resin, (mix as per instruction) a little goes a long way use an auto body squeege or credit card type to spread it out and remove the extra, put on a very thin layer just enough to soak throught the cloth to the wood. This stuff has a long cure time and very easy to work with. Best thing is to let it set over night then wipe it down with a cloth damp with denatured alchol or acetone, gets rid of that sticky top coat and then sand away.
