You're welcome Tony. Depending on how long the cuts are, yes, it is sometimes a new blade for every cut. After a panel is done, for the adjacent panel, I use masking tape on the edge of the excising panel, then cut the next panel no larger than the masking tape. That way when you trim the new panel, the excess is stuck to the masking tape and easily comes off. Foil has tremendous adhesion and can be very hard to get off of other foil. On large panels, we use a mist of Windex on the surface first. You squeegee it out with your blending stick and the adhesion is not effected. This keeps waste down to a minimum.
