Im not sure if you care to do this but the company that upholstered my lancair used layered cardboard for areas that needed a backing. Its pretty stiff once they glue a couple layers together. Then they wrap the foam and leather over these parts.

Guys -

There are some places in my airplane where I want to take a sheet of fiberglass BID, have that upholstered, and mechanically fasten that upholstered sheet to the airplane.  This would be in lieu of just gluing the leather to the interior.

How many BID do I need to make a piece that is strong enough?  3-BID, 4-BID, or even 6-BID???

The places that come to mind are the sides of the console (between the seats) and the top of the console.  So some of the pieces are tiny (postcard or business envelope sized) and some are medium sized (12 x 24 inches).
