Having recently completed filling of the tailplane et. al., that's easy. Do
the final
sanding of the edges later. Filler will not add anything to the edge of
fiberglass flanges, nor do you want any there. However, it is a nuisance to
work with
filler at the edges, as they can wind up raggedy and time-consuming to fix.
Hence, it's nice to be able to sand off more flange to produce a nice edge.
So,
when they say on any flange to sand to a gap of x mm, don't do quite that much
until the filler step.
