You can wait until the boat is off the forms to plane the edge if you want. Running a saw along the sheer will only remove one saw thickness. If this is enough you could do it and cut into the forms a bit, but it probably isn't enough. I would just wait until the pieces are off the form.

: I'm in the process of fairing and I noticed that I have a small issue at the
: sheer. Using C&B strips I planed the bead off of the first strip. But in
: my newbe state, I didn't quite plane enought. Now I have depression on the
: sheer where the strip curves into the boat following the remain bead.

: Its not too bad, but I'd like to fix it.

: Nick, we met at the Newfound event last year. You showed me a way to clean
: the sheer to sheer joint by running a pull saw the lenght of the boat.
: Seems this would correct my flaw. How would I do this while still on the
: forms....just cut the forms a little as I go?

: Any other suggestions?

: BTW. I have gone from ROS to fairing board back to ROS. I seem to be doing a
: better job with the sander then the board. Maybe I'm missing something.
