So I coated my wings with a coat of epoxy. It didn't turn out like I was expecting. I got a lot of fisheyes? Places where the coat seemed to pull apart a leave a gap. Also lots of pinholes? Small holes with not much resin. Here was my method. Let me know what I did wrong.
Prior to sanding, I used a wax remover recommended by SolarEZ, the company that I bought the resin from. This:

I thought the wax remover left a film so I used Isopropyl alcohol to clean the surface of the oily feel.
I then sanded with 220 grit. Vacuumed and cleaned again with alcohol. Then a light swipe with a tack cloth. I was careful here to not press the cloth onto the surface so that none of the mixture in the cloth would get on the wings.
I mixed up the resin recommended by SolarEZ. This:

It did not spread like what I see on the Youtube videos. Easy to spread. Maybe I didn't use enough. I didn't have much extra. It wasn't dripping off. They said it was low viscosity but I wonder? It was fairly thick to brush on.
I've read about various things that maybe I did wrong. Surface prep was too fine using the 220. I didn't use enough epoxy. But to me, the epoxy was too thick for easy brushing. But maybe that's the norm with epoxy. I haven't glassed anything since the polyester days back in the early 90s.
I've used 120 grit wet to get the surface back to a uniform look. But I had to sand the new layer off in many places. My whole thought process was to get a nice barrier layer of epoxy on the wing to protect the underlying fabric.
