Material: How much fiberglass?

Hey, I'm building a 14' great awk, and it is my first kayak, so I was wondering just how much fiberglass I am going to need

Also, what thickness is best? I probably won't be going any more extreme than some day trips.

And on a slightly similar note, howmuch epoxy will I need

Thanks so much
