I usually trim after about 4 hours. I got sidetracked for an emergency and now I have let the glasbed cure for over 12 hours. I assume its going to be harder to trim, but its still feasible, right? The action popped out just fine at least.

because he gets to use fire and sharp objects now...
Denying him that opportunity is grounds for getting your man card revoked...lol


Microsuck... Yes, you will be fine trimming now. I had the same thing happen to me once. Not an emergency, just side tracked. I used the sanding method, but that butane lighter and a blade just sounds cool.

BTW... how's momma & the little one these days?

Can you think of a better way to slice your finger in half

Serious.. i tried the torch and razor method and was happy how fast and smooth the trimming was and no dust from sanding either

Doing well. Still puts up with me. Landon is strong and healthy. I have guns that make less noise than him though.
