Fiberglassing help, please

OK... I'm part-way through my first fiberglass project. I decided to take a fiberglass seat made for a CB750 and modify it for my CJ360.
Basically, I cut a two-inch strip out the middle and fiberglassed it back together. I used matting on the bottom and cloth on the top. I finished that off with a layer of body filler and I sanded like a mad-man for a couple of hours.

I just put the first layer of primer on and it really highlights how much further I have to go. Here's the question though... Based on the attached pic, should I lay down another thin layer of filler before I continue to sand or are these scratches and indentations small enough to sand out without using more filler?

Thanks in advance,
Sonny

I think it needs a little filler. Some of those look fairly deep. Might also use a filler/primer.
 
More filler. High build primer isn't to fill holes. High build primer after priming and blocking about 3 times will make you look like you know what you're doing. ;D
The filler won't sink so your base will be better for the primer.
 
WFO is right... Ive been a body man and bike builder for years and high filler primer is awesome if you have the right stuff BUT to fill in holes or something like that its better to just fill it in the right way... Its very hard to get filler primer to keep the holes filled meaning after you paint it, a day later you'll look at it and say, shit... Pin holes. I did it too many times when I first started doing body work..
