If I understand your application correctly, you are attempting to use the Glad Wrap as a PVA of sorts?
I was planning to use foil as a pva of sorts, and was wondering if the glad wrap could be used similarly.

Ideally, I would use let's say 1/2 inch pink foam with one layer of 6 ounce glass on either side of the foam. This is what is meant by the term composite: using two different and weaker materials in combination to make a stronger result.
I was using the term Composite to refer to Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic which is itself a composite. Motorcycle fairings are typically about 1/16" thick since there is very little space inside them. even with a very large one like mine, making it 1/2" thick might make it too small inside for me to fit.
