Yep, pretty normal. The trick is to build up enough film thickness that you can sand it smooth without getting into the glass.

Doesn't have to be a one shot deal, depending on your time, it takes a bit of time, week or so, for the epoxy to get hard enough to sand, then if it's not smooth enough you can add another coat or more to gain the film thickness required.

Lots faster to build up the thickness in epoxy than it is to try to do it with varnish.
