Fill the weave?

I'am building a light weight paddle (modern design) Is it necessary to fill the weave of the glass on the blades? I'am using 4oz. glass. I will be varnishing the whole paddle and wonder if the varnish will fill the weave enough. I have also thought of filling the weave on just the power face. Light weight is paramount!!
