I would advise tinting the resin with ink or some other type of non water based pigment. This will enable you to easily spot any areas that have remained uncovered. I would leave a couple of small areas uncovered, so that any moisture that may creep in over time has a chance to breath.

Not the same sort of stuff- too thick for coating a hull.
