I'm building a sailboat, and I have some question about the fiber glass and
resins and how can I make them smooth and how many layers of fiber glass
should I apply to the hull??? is any filer or way to make it more
professional looking.... is any withe epoxy or paste to cover the hull....

Soon I'll be putting the first pictures of the hull on the net.... This is
my first sailboat, I did my own design and after I build the hull I found
the plans for US 1M http://www.amya.org/us1mcons.html

Thanks....
