Strip: glassing the inside -- how smooth?

I am about to start planing and sanding the inside of my stripper, and I am trying to figure out how smooth I need to make it. I do not much care about the asthetics of the inside of the yak, as nobody is goinf to see it. I am more concerned with weight and strength. So, do just need to get the glue out and knock the edges off the strips? Or do I need to have a totally fair surface?
