Is it something really simple like the fact that you don't have enough fill coats yet to completely fill the weave?

Is it just the weave making the surface less than glassy smooth?

It might need at least three fill coats before the weave is completely filled. It can vary a lot depending on the product used, the temperature, the method of application etc.

Maybe there is actually nothing wrong.
