surface filling

Hello the Oracle,

I've just attempted to surface fill my first flying surface with factory
supplied Expancell and have a couple of questions.

1). How do I judge the consistency of the mix,  is it too wet if there is
'moisture' visible on the surface?

2). How thick should I layer the filler on?  If my layup is fairly smooth &
flat, do I need just enough to fill the weave or thick enough so I can't see
through the fill and then sand back?

3). Any tips for getting a smooth, even finish?

Any other tips would be appreciated.
