Trimming may be necessary even when installing kits perfectly to tidy up edges and seams. A high-quality surgical blade like Swan Morton is recommended for precision.
Trimming is more of an aesthetic touch.
Choose a quality blade and change it often.
Cut flat to avoid damaging the paint.
Listen for a squeaking noise to indicate you are cutting correctly.
Options include single blades or snap-off ones.
To trim, identify the start and end points, maintain consistent pressure, and use tools like small tweezers to remove your offcuts.
Keeping a finger or thumb on the edge helps maintain a steady cut.
For curved edges, adjust hand position to follow the shape.
This process enhances aesthetics and ensures a neat overall look to the job.
