Fibreglass isn't paint, why are you letting it dry before putting on the next layer. You will end up having something that resembles an onion.

You don't apply it in layers, you put down the ammount of fibreglass you need and then appy the resin. You do it all in one go.

the way i was shown at college was to apply it in layers, not just put down as much matting as i need and try to get the resin to soak through

soak the brushes in acetone, but make sure they are completely dry before using it

heres a tutorial by a pro
