Woven cloth all has a weight rating.  For example Carbon Fiber 4x4 twill at 8.8oz.   That means it takes 8.8oz of resin to fully saturate that cloth at a 50/50 resin to weight ratio

So cut the amount of cloth you need to skin your part, weigh it in grams, and thats how much resin youll need to fully saturate the cloth.  

In the case of skinning, youll likely need a little more than the cloth weight but it will be a good starting point.
