Default making a wing wheel

I'm going to start making a wing wheel for the Cherokee here shortly.
I have some 9 oz glass cloth and some fiberglass resin from advance
auto parts. *I'm curious how many layers of glass those of you who
have done it used?


I did this last year with about 5 layers: first laid up 4 layers for
the top
and bottom of the wing (two separate parts), epoxied the two together,
epoxied an aluminum strip over the complete sleeve (so I'd have
something
to clamp it together, and then one additional layer over the whole
thing.
I'll try to get some photos of the thing when I'm out at the airport.
