Default Fin Question...

Ok, I'm building a 4 inch 54mm mount model which will have four fins that are about 5x6 inches. My questions are 1. What thickness of fiberglass should I use and 2. Where is a good (cheap if possible) supplier?
Thanks!

Public Missiles has some information on selecting which to use:
PML G-10 Rocket Fins

Here are some other places to shop for G-10.

Hope that helps. Mine came with my rocket kit. So haven't done any myself.
