Cut the prop? I was under the impression that altering the prop was a recipe for disaster and fairly unsafe. Again, as a beginner, maybe that's an "urban legend", but that's my "perception" for whatever that's worth...

I know as a beginner I do not feel comfortable altering the prop at all. I understand adding weight (like spray polyurtherene) for balance purposes, but removing prop material is something I will leave to those with more experience than I.

Thanks for the tip Horace315.
