I'm glassing for the first time and I'm starting by making some main retracts doors for my TF GE Corsair. Following Luke's "Royal" post, I've laid down some Monokote over the sheeting and began laying two courses of general (not sure of the weight - it's from Lowes) f/g adhered with Elmer's Epoxy Resin. The resin spreads like thick frosting and has me concerned that multiple layers of f/g will not adhere together very well. It's still setting up and I'll know for sure tomorrow but, in the meantime, do the experts use this technique to make hatches/doors or should the resin be thinned with denatured alcohol or is another technique better for this purpose?

By the way, I intend to glass the wing and fuse with .75oz f/g using MinWax PolyCrylic but I didn't think that would be strong enough for a retract door.

Thanks for help. Gotta love RCU!
