Before you permanently join the halves, take a few minutes to find those "stragglers" . . . those fibers that partially unraveled or for some other reason did not lay down properly. Now that they are wetted down and partially cured, they will poke you pretty good. The closer they are to being fully cured, the more vicious they get. They are like sharp needles; and much too often, when they poke you, they break off and embed themselves under the skin,like slivers on steroids!

Either sand them (I've learned the hard way to fold the sandpaper over or they will often pass through one layer and still get you), or cut them with a razor or X-acto blade.
