Is ironing bad for strength?

I print pet-g only and I noticed in more that one occasion that printed parts collapsed, even with simple handling,  just at protrusion from an ironed level.

The explanation I gave myself is that ironing take a lot of time, making the areas yet to be printed at that level too cold to achieve a good next layer adhesion.

All the breaking I had were plain smooth cut off at ironing level, making me wonder if it is worthy to use the good old sandpaper instead.

Did anybody experienced the same?
