I havn't done it this way, but if I were to do it again I would, I'd add at least one coat of epoxy when you think you're done with a squeegie, that'll fill the weave better and not add epoxy on top of the weave where you'll just sand it away anyway.

Once you sand into the weave it's a mess that you really don't want, specially on the deck where you'll have to look at it every time you paddle.
