<html> <body> ><pre>How long for that job, compared to the real thing (3-4 hrs)? About one half hour.  The leading edge of the cloth can be cut/sanded to a chisel-point to ease its way under the action cloth. However, I don't run the strip the length of the action and cut on either side of the wippens. I pull the cloth through until the back is flush to the side and then cut. Jon Page </body> </html>
