: Hi Nick, Hi Rob,

: How much do you sand the inside. Without the fill coats you sand very quickly
: in the glass. I have one fill coat. I presume that you only sand the top
: ridges of the glass lightly and the low sections of the weave remain shiny
: or do you use a scotch brite pad for this surface?

While it is probably not "best practice" I do not sand the inside. It seems to work fine. Scrubbing with a scotch brite pad wouldn't hurt.
