: Do you have an opinion on thinning the wet out coat? I'm planning on trying
: it to see if there will be less pooling..easier wet out...less weight.

If you follow my suggestions on warming your whole shop and the techniques
I suggest to keep the resin thin your seal coat will work well.

Different areas of the wood will absorb resin at different rates. Just roll on a coat a let it be.

Don't sand it or try to add more resin to dry patches.

When tack free, lay your cloth over and wet it out.
