Glad your project is progressing Dan, it's gratifying to see something of this nature take shape!

My experience with stitch'n'glue so far hasn't lent itself much use of traditional rasps. Those epoxy bumps & dribbles are mighty tough, yield to block plane properly tuned & applied but more often - like ~ 90% more often - I've reached for a **[ShintoRasp](https://www.clcboats.com/shop/products/boat-building-supplies-epoxy-fiberglass-plywood/boat-building-tools/shinto-saw-rasp.html)** thing I bought decades ago when a'building my first boat.

A new one joined it during my Waterlust's build, owing to the eventual dulling of the teeth on that first one after some 50 years' employment. I recommend with vigor having one handy for anyone messing about with boats, wood & epoxy.
