: As long as you have full access to the seams on both sides, you can do fill
: coats to both at the same time. However, since they'll both likely be
: vertical, you could get some runs. The best way to avoid this is to use
: thin coats, and a roller is perfect for building thin coats. Because
: they're thin, you may need more than 2 coats to fill the weave. Also,
: after you feather the edges of the seam tape, you'll want to apply another
: coat or two to bury the exposed weave.

: Good luck,

Thankyou Ross
I had forgotten about those little foam rollers.
that saved a bit of time and I'm soon ready to sand.
I think I'll try the magic marker trick from One Ocean,as I didn't do a very good job of sanding on my first boat.
Regards Terry
