: I think John has stated the key factors here. If the glass is
: showing as white and you cannot see the wood through the fibers,
: you may have had an incomplete wet out of the cloth. However if
: the wood is visible but you are seeing a textured and kinda dull
: surface that is just the cloth weave. Additional fill coats will
: fill in the weave and your class will begin to get clearer as
: the surface becomes smoother. Post a picture if you are still
: unsure and more accurate advise will be on the way.

Hi All thanks for all your advise /comments. I did a small test epoxy fill coat and found the silver threads visible. So Im guessing sand it back to the wood and redo!!!
