OK thanks for the advise. My dilemma is always the same - I glassed the boat - filled the weave (???) and now if you examine the surface up close it looks like lots of individual mountains with the tops cut off. It feels smooth to the touch but I'm always struggling to know for sure if that means not enough sanding or I need a fill coat!
On my first boat I varnished at this stage but Vaclav has got me wondering!!
