Glass tape preparation

Forgot to buy some more masking tape so my plan of putting glass tape down was scuppered. Instead I took some time to clean up the tack joints and get rid of the dust etc. I cut the glass tape in lengths and lowered the canoe to a more managable height.

I'm amazed at how rigid the canoe is even though the joints aren't fully glued and no tape present either.

Offered up the deck plates to the holes cut in the bulkheads and even after making them as per recommendation the holes are too small. This is a real pain as I don't have a suitable way of removing the material. I need some kind of cylindrical sander is there is such a thing - off to screwfix to have a look.
