Planing the area by the nose

Hey guys I’m doing good with the planer so far. Bottom looks great, the deck I skinned it and I dont want to take off too much foam after listening to the 101 dvd. I am especially having trouble sureforming the area around the nose in the kick area of the deck. Any tips ? Its comming around slowly but is there a better way ?? How deep should I go down on the deck ?? just get the glue off ??

We used to set the planer on medium cut, and cut across the nose, across the stringer, but never at 90 degrees exactly. Dead 90, the stringer chunks.

Start with tail towards nose, and the concave ends the cut. That’s where you begin the cross blank cut.
