Sloppy IMHO.</div> <div><br></div> <div>A planed, square cut on the resurfacing is a much more professional</div> <div>appearance. And it looks better too. The 'notch' can also be used as</div> <div>an index for for installation.</div> <div><br></div> <div>You have more control/precision with routing than sawing.</div> <div><br></div> <div>No need to clamp, which can cause drift. Tape is a better stabilizer.</div> <div>I would caution though on the adhesive which can leave a residue.</div> <div>Adding another task...clean up.  Take the time to cut 1" strips of</div> <div>masking tape to adhere back onto to the tape at the sharp top/sides</div> <div>so there is no adhesive touching the surface of the sharp and the</div> <div>derned stick-um won't gum it up.</div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div><br> Regards,<br> <br> Jon Page</div> </body> </html>
