Hello Out there… I keep running into the same problem while cutting the glass. I always end up with lots of those strings! Is there such thing as having “Too Sharp” of a scissors? Or am I just cutting the cloth all wrong? The cloth I’m using now is 6oz Warp. I’ve had good results from taping off, but would like to free-lap on my shortboards. Any suggestions or so-called “Tricks of the Trade” that anyone would like to pass-on would be great!! Thanks, Bob
