Title: Canopy trimming and edge finishing
1. Marked the canopy for final trimming. 2. Jim and I took the canopy off, then I spent over six hours taking all the canopy edges down to the tape lines with a handheld 1/2" belt sander (60 grit) to get them close, followed by a large block sander (80 grit) to get the edges straight, then a small handheld block with 100, 220, and finally 400 grit sandpaper. Then I beveled the edges with a plexi scraper, followed by some follow-up beveling passes with 400-grit. Then I did the notches by hand with more 400-grit wrapped around my finger. Tomorrow I will make a final pass over all the edges with 1000-grit paper, just for good measure.
