You can also trim away any overhang of cloth from the areas that you did not have to be so critical about lining up precisely. Because the bottom of the fuse between the wing saddles is the openareamost of us use as the access point to the interior of the airplane and is not joined together here with the other half, in the interest of saving time during the lay-up process, I let some excess cloth hang over the edge.

However, this is also my only access to the interior of the plane in the P-47, so I don't want this cloth brushing up against my hands or forearms when I am reaching inside to seam the fuse together. Even thoughthe cloth that does not have epoxy on it may not have those dangerous needles, I have found that it makes my forearms itch rather severely. So, I trim it away, too.
