Default RE: First Kit Build: basic questions

What about sanding? I ended up going the thin or medium CA route (Ken, I know I can use Titebond II, however, I am sticking with the fumes and quick working time).
I finished the stab last night and it came out good except for too much time spent getting the angles correct, which will be fixed today with a good miter saw. I am using a angles protractor and a good magnifying glass also.

As far as sanding. When the stab was completed I had to use 60 grit paper around some of the places the CA was. This left the entire stab rough so I switched to 220 and it is good now. How "smooth" does it need to be? I know it needs to be smooth for the monokote later. Any sanding tips appreciated.
