Hi Richard

I think we all have been in a similar spot... In this case, my favorite tool is a really sharp chisel that can be used to pare down the sides of the stanchon in thin slices. The same tool can be used flush with the deck to nip off the shavings. The key is to make thin cuts and keep the tool sharp enough to make the cut without using the force which will cause you to slip and gouge the deck.
