Dean, Being the cowl is not structural, I dont think that using deck cloth is necessary. If you sand into the weave, more can be added on the backside. 2 layers should be adequate overall. In areas where there is a seam, and where it meets the firewall, add a several more layers using tape or cut strips. Depending on the shape, you may need to add stiffeners going for to aft.
