Thanks Saul and Marcus.

It was a bit of work but a sanding tool that I made sure helped. I cut a 6" piece of 1" PVC pipe. I then cut it down the center long wise. I applied contact glue (Welders brand from Wal-mart) to the inside of the PVC and to the back of 60 grit sand paper. I used this tool for sanding the leading edge of the stab and around the ends of the elevator. I finished off with 220 grit sand paper.

If you soak, glue, and laminate strips like I did, be sure to wait 24 hours before removing them from the board to give plenty of drying time.
