Preventing fraying

Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 14	Hi there. I'm going to be constructing a complex shape with the external cosmetic layer of reinforcement being red CF. I've worked out how to cut almost the entire shape as a single large piece (140cm x 70cm to give a rough idea of scale), and with all the cuts being perpendicular to minimise issues with fraying. However that's not quite perfect, and the item will need two rather more fiddly small pieces to complete, with really precise cuts at odd angles. The concern is that fraying will be impossible to avoid and that those bits will spoil an otherwise perfect cosmetic part. Is there a trick here? Can I spray a small piece with some sort of glue before cutting that will keep it together without any fraying, and are there any particular pitfalls to look out for to avoid spoiling the cosmetic appearance. Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much for the helpful replies. I'll give it a go and spray carefully. :)
