Epoxy: Removing texture.

Hello all, I am in the process of epoxying the fiberglass cloth and both the deck and hull are covered. I am on my second coat on the hull and there is still a cloth texture that shows through. Should I keep applying epoxy and sanding between coats or does the varnish act as a fill. I really want a smooth surface, and I think it has to be acheived(sp?) with expoy as varnish will eventually wear off. Thanks for the input.
