Default HOW TO SEAL a wooden hull?

I searched but I did not find anything specific about this, is there a tutorial or how to about sealing the hull of a wooden boat? with detailed pictures or instructions, I found several topics about this in the forums but none of them is detailed, what should I use to seal the hull of the Hamburg from Artesania Latina, how to do it? if anyone could help me with this I would really appreciate, thanks in advance.

I describe fiberglassing to novices as;
first prefitting and cutting the cloth,
then painting the boat with resin,
then smooshing the cloth into resin.
Then squeegee or press out the air bubbles.(I ususally just use rubber gloves and my hands to do this.)
