Working on getting everything I need to finish up replacing my transom. I plan to use the 635 thin epoxy resin with medium hardener from US Composites.

Trying to figure out how much I need to put a good 3 coats on my transom. A rought estimate of my transom is 60" wide, 12" tall and 1-1/2" thick.
I've never worked with epoxy resin before, so wondering what is the best way to apply. Roller, brush, finger paint?? It looks as if I'm doing multiple coats I need to apply each coat in between the dry time and cure time, correct? I'd imagine I'll have to do all my coats on one side, allow to cure then repeat for the other side?
Anyone know if this particular epoxy is UV resistant? If not, whats the best thing to apply overtop? I don't want to paint, and I think I remember someone putting a few coats of spar urethane on top of the epoxy to give it uv protection. I want to keep the natural wood look, so this seems like a good idea.
I've been throwing a TON of questions out in the last few weeks, and I really appreciate all the help I've gotten so far. Hopefully I haven't been to annoying!!
