I like to add a few more planks to the upper end portion of the sides, but there isn't room to do it while the boat is held by the strongback.  So, after removal and a partial sanding, I add three more planks to the top of the canoe sides, on both ends, to create a little more of a curve to the top edge.  I use a pencil to draw out the material I want sanded away, and use my dremel to sand them into the shape I want.  Then, the outside is done, besides a final sanding.  It is too weak now to sand the outside any further, so the next step is to add ribs to the inside to strengthen it.
