I've used clarkcrafts epoxy resin, it's good stuff but overkill for what your doing. use unwaxed poly resin that's what your boat is built out of. Also if you do use epoxy make sure its warm out, that stuff takes along time to kick in cool weather. You will also have to remove the amine blush.

I've used CC's epoxy to and it is a no blush, plus he is only letting it set a couple of hours before re-coating...the epoxy is still tacky and wouldn't have blush yet anyway. Looks like you are doing it fine to me.
