Default Fiberglass vs. Fabric

Ok, everyone, I've started to experiment with fiberglass. I bought the
foam, the fabric,hardner and resin. I've mix the resin and hardener
with micro balloons and came up with something that resembles honey
dijon salad dressing. I've put it on the foam, layed down the fabric
and then had to mix more resin and hardener. Put that mix on top and
spread it around. Layed down another layer of fabric, mixed more
resin/hardener, spead it around and layed down dacron.
Now the big question, Does this sound correct? Can anyone tell me if
I missed a step? This so far is a test piece, but I know what I can use
it for. I am kinda suprised of how flexable the fiished product is.
