Default Spinner Balance ?

Have been balancing props it seems like forever. Was even just reading a posted thread on how folks balance their props and their favorite equipment to accomplish the balancing. But then an old question came to mind, which probably does not make much difference but wondering if it could.

Say that you have a perfectly balanced prop, but you have to trim the spinner for proper fit. Keep in mind that I am talking about a plastic spinner.
You trim the spinner as perfectly as you can, but does the trimming affect the balance in any way, shape or form, if you do not get a perfect trim ?

A spinner cut for your engine and prop, say from Tru Turn could be close to being in perfect balance. But when you trim a plastic spinner yourself, ever wonder about the balance ?

Mind you, I have never run into a balance problem. But would like to hear different opinions on this subject.

Thanks folks for your contribution on this subject.
