when ever we did anything like your doing for the r/c boats, we use to use a minimum of 3 layers, each one turned a bit from the last layer to give it a bit more strength (so the weave pattern doesn't match the dirrection of the first layer)

Subject: fiberglass layer(s) [TANKS]

I took a stab at fiberglassing my turret today (first time fiberglassing).  
I wasn't sure how many layers I ought to have - can a single layer be used meaningfully? I used one 3x3' cloth (I assume its just a standard thickness). Most of the turret is one layer thick and on the corners I added another layer. I guess I'll find out if its thick enough when I take all of the foam out of the inside but I'll take all the advice I can get first. 
 
Thanks,
