When you say a few coats (bare with me please Ive never used it before). Are you referring to a few layers of the fiber cloth on top of each other, or one coat, let it dry and do that multiple times?

You got it.. I actually use old tooth brushes as my squeegee as you have to get
the cloth soaked with the resin.
You do one coat or cloth layer at a time. Let that dry. Then start over again with a 2nd coat etc.
How I do it is wet down the area with the resin. Wearing throw away rubber gloves. Place the cloth on the resin and use a tooth brush to carefully push the resin into the cloth to soak the cloth. Let that area completely dry and do another layer or 2.
After that, I put fiberglass body filler over it all and sand it down to get it like it was.
You can see how i did the rear door (hatch) on my build thread.
You can skip the fiberglass body filler if you want. The main thing is to get that rust hole sealed shut with a few coats of resin and fiberglass cloth.
