I took the belt sander to the keel to clean up drips and wire marks, but I tried to remove as little actual keel material as possible. I faired from bow to stern with my fillet mixture. It took a couple of fairing sessions but I ended up with something that the biaxial fiberglass tape would wrap around smoothly. I applied the tape from the bow waterline to the skeg.
