I found easier to warm the poxypol with a lighter and first cut on the guide leg. It’s a bit safer as it will not be the risk to scratch the carbon

I find it a lot more hassle doing it that way and as long as you can get the right angle of approach when cutting into the finish it's quicker to do 1 straight cut and remove. Also you have to be very careful with heat and carbon fiber as too much heat will cause structural collapse of the carbon. Be very careful adding heat. I would only do that with a tip guide where it is necessary. This is just my opinion and from experience

Always we have different ways to do a thing but if the result is good it’s all the matter. Keep posting your are doing great

Exactly! If everybody did everything exactly the same the world would be a very boring place. I love hearing how other people do things and I love all the interaction. That's for your support on the page!
