Strip: Sanding ?

I've just finished stripping Great Auk with hardwoods---pecan, with purple heart and mesquite accents. I've sanded with 60 grit paper and have a smooth surface. Since this wood is hard and will probably not soak up any epoxy, should I leave it as it is or sand with finer grit? I'm thinking that the only bonding will be mechanical bonding. Any advice will be appreciated. Glen
