Dealing with any after sanding the planking is going to be a bit trickier... This is your answer, from Amazon. I use it all the time when working.

hmcarlin Posted May 12 #33 Posted May 12 And WHY is it unavoidable? Why can't you fair the frames before assembling the interior fittings??
manning16 Posted May 13 #34 Posted May 13 I use a small 1.5 gallon shop vac with a long, flexible CPAP hose..creates a lot of suction, don't have to hold the vac and can get into the small bits..find a friend with sleep apnea.

hmcarlin Posted Thursday at 05:49 PM #36 Posted Thursday at 05:49 PM Not to be argumentative, but a POF model has no more internal support than these pictures show; yet, when done carefully with light pressure on the sanding sticks, fairing can (and is) done successfully -- as is internal fairing!

Oh I am sure it can. But knowing my luck/life/experience I would just destroy it trying.
