Tips & Tricks Thursday | Clean Channel Cuts with Painter's Tape
Creating clean, professional-looking channel cuts doesn't require specialty tools. By applying painter's tape before cutting your channel and lens, you can reduce rough edges, minimize chipping, and soften the impact of the blade. The result is a more precise fit that helps prevent unwanted light leakage and delivers a cleaner finished installation.
Pro Tip: Apply painter's tape directly over the cut line before making your cut. The tape helps support the material during cutting, reducing edge damage and creating a smoother, more accurate fit for both channel and lens components.
