Epoxy: Fill Coat

Hello,

Last week I put a layer of glass on the inside of my boat, however I was called away the next day for a week so could not put the fill coat on:

1) Does this matter to the structural strength of the glass-epoxy ?
2) If I need to put a fill coat on, should I rub down the existing layer first ?
2-a) If I do this I will of course sand a little into the glass, is this a problem ?
3) If I wish to add an extra layer of cloth, should I sand down before I add it ?

Sorry for all the questions at once.

Thanks
Ian
