SpiceCredits Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Hi guys and gals!I was working on trimming and sanding my chest piece when I noticed this problem. I thought I would ask you guys what you thought before doing any damage.It seems that I may have a problem with return edge thickness once I remove the lip from the remaining flashing here. I don't think I'll have enough meat left to assemble brackets, so I'm going to go with snaps instead.If I remove this lip, will I still have enough return edge thickness for it to look good? I also read having 6-8mm of edge is the norm. Can anyone confirm? Has anyone had a similar issue? I don't know how much I trust myself to use heat either, so I am hoping all can be saved.Thanks!!!

That middle part should work too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) I use longer screws and drill 60d into the edge. gently take the return until the flashing is removed. Edited April 5, 2016 by TK bondservnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiceCredits Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Thanks guys! I appreciate the help and advice! I'm going to trim it down a little more and try to get rid of that lip. I think I should have about 4/5mm in the middle once done.Is it OK to have more edge on the sides and less in the middle, or should it be uniform around the entire bottom?
