1. Removed all tape from the canopy. Trimmed back the protestive plastic about 4 inches all around the perimeter.
2. Block-sanded the edges of the canopy.
3. Used the plexi-scraper tool to dress the edges of the canopy so they're as smooth as butter.
The lower edges of the canopy are done, but there's still a considerable amount of block-sanding to be done on the forward edge, where the re-cut was accomplished. I switched to a very nice wooden-handled block sander I picked up awhile ago, just for this job.
