Just to clarify...are you recovering the current door panels? (using them as your structure) or using them as a template to form your own door panels?...

typically fiberglass resin on its own is very week and brittle, and would probably crack the first time you closed your door. Though mixed with fiberglass matting it becomes extremely rigid and strong. The more layers the stronger the panel.
