I'm making a custom turtledeck for my Starduster Too. I have the mold completed, I'm ready to start the fiberglass part but am not sure how many layups of glass I need.


Does anyone have any advice on weight of fiberglass cloth, how many layers would be adequate, etc. I would like to make it lightweight but still sufficiently built that it would not be flimsy and would hold up.


Any help would be appreciated
