Jon - what's your advice to doing 'trim lines' ?

Please don't tell me you just cut them by hand !!!

On my last shell I used a combination of liquid mask and stick on trim lines to build up my mask.... so the trim lines are bang parallel, which is nice. However, they have a tendancy to a) lift where they go across a fold in the shell, and b) leave a sticky residue behind when you lift them for spraying.

On one of my shells, I made what can only be described as a "shank" .... basically a lolly stick with 2 x scalpel blades taped firmly onto the end, allowing me to cut parallel trim line direct into the liquid mask.

Appreciate your thoughts, praying you don't just tell me it's skill... but I suspect that might be the answer coming my way !!
