Epoxy Coverage & Glass...

Hi. I've been following this message board for a while & have gotten some valuable info. Problem now is being able to get a nice smooth coat from MAS Epoxy. All I get is an "orange peel" effect, even after a water wash & a laquer thinner cleaning, as per CLC instructions. Anyone have these problems or know of a solution?

2nd Question: If I do show the glass weave after sanding, is this a bad thing that has to be fixed or can I just go to the varnishing? I am leery of putting on more epoxy after the problems I am having getting a fresh coating.

Thanks- Jack
