Thanks for the advice on this all. Seal coat, that's what I meant to say, fill coat is after the glass is epoxied once right? To fill in any remaining weave? Stupid questions I know, but we all gotta start somewhere ;) I think I will do a seal coat at least on the outside if for nothing else than to get my bearings spreading the epoxy and to fill any cracks I might have. I know the hull has more gaps and cracks as I was just learning to bevel and didn't do nearly as good of a job as on the deck.. I'm thinking the milk jug squeegee is my best bet as opposed to a roller (I'm a terrible painter with a roller). Just hope the weather stays warm here so I can get started as soon as my stuff comes in, but not holding my breath on that :/

On a side note. Having the same experience with the Ecopoxy "Customer Service" that I've read about. Sent an email simply asking what their average handling time is and if I will receive a tracking number once shipped. Got an automated reply saying someone would contact me shortly... That was two days ago.
