Since you brought up the subject of tail fairing blocks.... My first attempt at making them failed after gluing them to the fuse with CA, lightly tacking the spacers with Sig Bond, and attempting to countour the blocks with a belt sander. The sander promptly grabbed hold of the blocks and snapped them off of the fuse, sending parts across the shop. On the next attempt, I epoxied the blocks to the fuse with the spacers taped in place. Once the epoxy had set well, I began hand shaping the fillets with a small sanding block. This worked much better.
