: I think in the long run resin and glass have different expansion/contraction
: rates and time will eventually cause some weave pattern to appear
: regardless of what you do.

I've found the cloth pattern telegraphed through the resin in all my boats after a year.

At this point it seems to stabilize.

Sand with 220 and add a new coat of varnish and it's gone.

All the best,
