Skin-on-Frame: Fairing blocks

Have I done something wrong or is it typical to have to use some fairing blocks between the keelson and the ribs? I am sure that I cut my ribs with a fair degree of accuracy yet I have some gaps between them and the keel. What size gap would a candidate for fairing before it is time to redo a rib?
