The Dangers of UGC trimming...(Discretion advised)
fiatbravodriver:
oUCH, I know Ive had a few slips but never as bad as yours.
WolfAlmighty:
I've drawn blood several times when modifying UGCs (just over 400 done now), but never anything that severe. Usually just a small poke with the blade, basically a little pinhole. Thursday's the day I do my cases so I'll be working on another 5 tonight, so I hope I didn't just jinx myself! :D
Beastman1975:
might want to invest in a pair of these they they dont get as close to the surface as id like but better than sliceing of a finger

I just wear my gardening/maintenance gloves when cutting these. I have used my dremel but its always too messy for my tastes.

Because a 90 year old man would have an interest in nes. I'm 27! Anyway in regard to using a gardening glove; I've thought about picking up a mesh cutting glove. I definately need a new technique. I'd prefer to find a local business that could trim these boxes for me. Maybe a carpenter or wood smith. I have a dremel, but I've always been unsatisfied with it. It doesn't shave as close as a blade.
