and slight strip-to-strip misalignment is
: tolerated instead of being sanded out, but they still look
: great.

: It occurs to me that much of the desire for a perfect finish is
: because the glass-epoxy surface shows up every imperfection.

If you were to leave slight misalignment of strips under glass it would leave air between your wood and the glass, this would be asking for a due lamination issue down the road.
