Until very recently Forest Product Laboratory's Member 60 handbook
recommended no sanding on Member 60 before gluing. I searched under google
for the FPL handbook and found that the recommendations had changed
somewhat. I copied the pertinent section and pasted it as follows:
You can find the handbook at:
https://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/fplgtr/fpl_gtr190.pdf
The handbook is full of information on Member 60 that we would-be aircraft
factories would find handy.
I still believe that cutting, not sanding will give a much better
joining strength.
