Strip: Advice on sanding and fairing

Hi All,
I need some advice and how far to go with sanding and fairing. I am busy with a Guillemot and trying to decide how much sanding is enough, I don't want to over do it if it’s not necessary but on the other hand I want to do it properly. Must the surface be 100% smooth prior to glassing? I have a couple of small grooves where some of the strips connect, must all these come out?
This is the first kayak I am building so hopefully I can rely on other people’s experience. Any advice would be appreciated

Regards
Adrian
