Great link.

Having just received my tanem I'm noticing all sorts of imperfections, i.e., nics, scrapes, and the keel... bumpy city. A little bit of elbow grease, several grits of wet sanding paper (800->). I approached this just like preping a car's paint. Not sure I'll notice any big difference in performance, but smooth is better than bumpy any day. I'll post pics of the areas before and after soon.
