While we are gluing the MOP to the Soundboard, and DB is lecturing Pest and Wokka about Hi-jacking my thread....
I'm going to talk about 'thicknessing' the sides as well as the back and the soundboard of the guitar.
It is best to have a flat piece of board to work off. Such as MDR or a thick laminate. I use a 1.8m laminate which at one end houses my Binding Jig and at the other provides a nice flat surface to work on.
Use calliper to trim Dreadnaught to 2.5 -2.6mm in the centre, edges to be trimmed down to 2.4. adjust by .1mm if back plate is too stiff. Triple-0: is thinner...about 2.4mm down to 2.2 if still a bit on the stiff side.
We used an orbital sander, the idea is to sand for 3-5 minutes, check the depth, write it down on the back plate in pencil and then focus sanding where it is needed most.
