required smoothness of epoxy finish.

Hi,

I have just finished glassing the hull of a Ches. 17 and have applied the coats of epoxy. The first I just applied using a bondo spreader I got from Canadian Tire. I sanded after the 3rd coat and the last coat I spread on with the spreader and then rolled it with a yellow foam roller. My question is: does the finish have to be glass smooth. Right now it has a few areas which have very tiny dimples, almost like pin holes in the finish. Are these okay or do I have to keep coating until they are gone. Other than those areas it looks great.

TIA

Paul
