: I am at the sanding stage, before glassing. I have scrapped and planed and
: have a relatively smooth hull. Since I am going to be glassing, how smooth
: should it be. If rub my hands against the strips, I can detect slight
: difference, but running with the strips they are relatively level. I
: assume this does not have to be furniture smooth as that will come after
: the glass.

You can get too smooth. 300 grit wet sand will look beautiful, but lacks the proper surface for the epoxy to bond to. A lot of builders will go up to 150 grit and once its beautiful, follow the grain pattern with 80 grit for a good grip.
