It is amazing how little epoxy is needed to attach glass cloth to wood.
The rule I use is; If the surface of the cloth looks shiney like it is wet then you have too much epoxy on the surface. It the cloth still looks white or dry, then you need a little more to wet it out. If too wet you can use paper towels to soak up the excess or squeegee some of the excess off completely or onto a dry spot.
Any cloth that has a wet look to it does not make the cloth epoxy stronger, it only adds more unneeded weight.
Another readily available laminating epoxy is the Bob Smith brand. Many hobby shops will have their name on the label but the bottle state it's from Bob Smith. If you order from Amazon, System Three epoxy is available in a reasonably small quantity for somewhere in the $30 range.
