Epoxy and sanding

I'm building the Peeler and my son and I are at the stage where we're just wetting the fiberglass tape at the seams over the fillets. I have a few basic questions (that have likely been asked before):

-After the tape is down at the seams and regular epoxy applied (wetting the tape with no wood filler) how many coats should I put on the tape?

-How many coats go on between sanding?

-Also, will I be putting another coat of epoxy on the interior bottom? There's a coat from when we started a few steps back that is "cloudy" from being sanded, will more coats go on?  

Thanks, Jack

RE: Epoxy and sanding

I haben't built a Peeler, but I usually let the tape cure a bit and then sand/scrape the rough edge, then epoxy over it when I do the second coat of epoxy on the inside.  If you are working on bare wood it will need at least 2 coats of epoxy. Good luck JRC
