: Ben, I used Vaclav's method with great results. His manual shows using the

: (pizza cutter type). If you don't already have one of these cutters, GET
: ONE!!!
: It makes cutting fiberglass a snap. It all but eliminates the loose strands
: if you bias cut the strips using the fabric cutter.

Larry where do you get one of these fabric cutters? On my canoe i used shears and while they made nice work of the bias strips i still got a few strays. Thanks for the info. Elliott
