: Do you mean wet it out right before glassing, or seal it and then sand it
: before glassing?

If you put epoxy on the outside of the hull then the areas where the epoxy cured will be/may be darker (looking like there are stained patches) than the rest of the hull. If you seal the hull prior to glassing it should minimize the blotchy appearance.
