For fill coats I pour them on, spread them quickly with a squeegee, and even them out with a roller, then tip them off with a brush.

It is quit a quick method, takes me about 20 minutes to do a fill coat. Might take you a bit longer.

I don't say you need the heat, only if you want to make the epoxy run. For fill coats you actually want it not to be too thin.

I know some folks use a brush to add fill coats, and others just use a roller and a pan with a tip off with a brush.

You may be overthinking it. It's all going to be smoothed out before varnishing.
