Laminating - Multiple Layers of Cloth

$

I'm currently doing my first glass job and just finished up with the bottom of the board (6oz + 6oz tail patch).  All things considered it went well; however, I noticed that the tail was particularly hard to fully wet out.  I had to work the resin into the tail (i.e., press down with the squeegee) more than I imagined I would have had to.  I was using UV cure resin so the extra time didn't spell disaster but now I'm imagining doing the deck with 2 layers of cloth along a 9'+ longboard and I'm a little concerned about the time it is going to take.  

So the question is:  what am I missing here?  Is it a matter of being more patient in letting the resin soak through before I squeegee it out?  Is it better to put some amount of resin between layers to make sure it fully saturates?  Do most people thin the resin with something?  

Any and all help is appreciated.  Gracias.
