sqeegie fill coat question

Just glassed the hull of my second S&G last night (6 oz cloth and raka epoxy). I rolled the epoxy into the glass, then sqeegied with a 6" wide plastic paint scraper/spackel spreader, then tipped out with a foam brush. When I roll on the first fill coat tonight, should/can this be sqeegied also?

Thanks for the monday help.

PS. The first coat went great and my SO did it all herself with me supervising. I only sqeegied, mixed epoxy, and tipped out. she did all the rolling. Hope she doesn't pick up the boatbuilding bug - or maybe I do. Unless her boats are prettier and lighter than mine ;)
