Jay:
I used a lot of fir on my deck and had the same problem with checking. I think it is just the different grain structure in the fir. It sanded up pretty well, so I used my random orbital sander instead of the plane in the fir-heavy areas. It cleaned up well and I had no problems with it during glassing.

Good luck and nice work so far.

Regards,

Marcel
