I keep trying to get pics but my wife runs off wiht the camera. BTW,
a finger plane is a tiny plane with a blade about the size of a
razor. It is unpowered of course and you pull it toward yourself and
it shaves a tiny amount off the wood. I always assume that most
people have more experience in woodworking than me cuz I am nearly
incompetent at such being unable to follow any directions. I turn
everything into an experiment.
For example, I was puzzled at why the bottom wood on the boat was in
such good shape whereas the deck was rotten. Then I rememebred that I
had experimented with mixing in Sevin dust as a thickener for my epoxy
for the bottom. Then I decided I didnt want to leave a toxic wake and
didnt do that with the deck.

paste experiment and this prob suppressed fungus.

You should post some pictures of this over in Chuck's Place. That way we
amateurs can understand what you're talking about.

What is a finger plane?

Just a very small plane:
