Glass Strands in first coat

What I thought was a perfect job keeping the glass clear of loose fiber glass strands turned out not to be so. In the morning light of the garage I noticed where a couple strands found their way onto my perfect job (haha). My, how the gremlins work after you quit for the night. Qestion is, should I sand these strands down flush before the first fill coat or should I wait till the final sanding? Also, do you feather the stem end reinforcing glass before starting the fill coats? TIA
