Default Hard time with Koverall? Here's a tip.

One problem I have to admit that I here quite often from other guys who try Koverall for the first time, or even guys who use it often, is how to trim it effectively? You could use a knife or a scissors, but that is one of the more time consuming and vexing of ways to accomplish your goal.

I have found the easiest way to trim Koverall is simply to sand around the edges of it with 150-220 grit sanding block. This works great at removing the Koverall, and gives you a nice straight edge.

FRAYING?
There's another problem. The fraying. One of the most common complaints I here is how to get rid of that frayed edge after sanding off the excess.

Here's how it is done:
1. Simply sand down the edge the best you can until it is nice and straight with nothing but just a little fray left. You could try to add more dope around the edges to hold it down, but that doesn't always work, and can leave a lumpy edge.
2. So, Use a Remington micro-screen electric razor to simply shave off the fuzz. It only takes a few minutes, and gives you a perfect edge, ready for further coats of dope to seal. Norelcos don't work as good, the Remingtons have a nice straight edge for shaving with.

That's it!! An electric razor is a great way to simply shave off the extra fuzzy fabric that plagues the best of us Koverall users.
