Glassfiber cafe racer seat

Hi guys.

I am thinking about making my own cafe racer glassfiber seat and I was wondering if any of you guys know how many m2 modified twill do I need for such a seat??

How many layers would you reckon I should use for such a seat?

Not sure what you mean by m2. g/m2 perhaps? that would indicate the grams per square meter. There are a couple variables that will determine what type and weight of fiberglass that will be ideal for you. What type of layup will you be doing? will it be one off, or will you be creating a mold? What type of resin will you be using?
