: Seal coated yesterday morning glassed the hull of my Guillemot last
: night and put fill coat on this morning. I can see the edge of
: the second layer of glass (on the bow and stern areas, placed on
: top of the main layer and wet out at the same time). Do I need
: to put a second fill coat on now or will varnish magically take
: care of it? Ideas?? Thoughts?? Travis

As long as the weave is buried you don't need more fill coat. What you need to do at the visible edge is to feather the edge of the second layer of glass. I usually do this using the random orbit sander until I can't feel the transition with my fingers.
