When I started "finishing" my KR Mark sent me this link. It is excellent and it works, at least read it because it does shoot down some of the old ideas of filling, sanding, filling, sanding...etc. You probably know this but I will go ahead and say it anyway. You are now at the most critical visual point of your project. Hopefully, no one will ever see the craftsmanship you used on the interior of your spars but everyone who ever looks at your plane will see how you finished it. The finish must be as perfect as you can make it. Paint will NOT hide any imperfections, it will accentuate them like a neon sign so make sure the surface is as good as you can make it. I used the silk weave on top of the outer layer and then peelply on top of that so that if I did happen to sand a little too far I would be into the silk weave and not the skin. Whichever method you choose, start on the bottom and finish that first. By the time you get to the top you will be much better at finishing.
