Stern Glass Overlap

As progress continues on my Tern 14, I glassed the hull last night. I cut and overlapped the glass as per the pygmy instructions so that the material would wrap around the steep angle of the hull. Now the end of the glass is visible on one side of the boat where I folded it over and wetted it out (The other side was wetted out underneath and is not visible). As is, there is now an unsightly spot where you can visibly see the end of fiberglass cloth. Will successive fill coats blend this in? Or will the sanding process 'ease' the transition? I am afraid that I read the directions wrong, but I seem to have done what they ask!

Anythoughts?
