Hi all, Ive recently tried to repair a break in my pole with one of your kits...it was going ok until the edges of the fabric started to come away. I ended up with a right mess trying to clean it up....How can I keep the edge of the fabric tidy, is there a way of doing this so it looks professional or near enough?

Many thanks

The fabric included with the Fishing Pole Repair Kit is quite fragile.  The ProFinish version of the cloth is much better at being cut neatly at the edges, however it can still break apart with action from the brush on the edges.  You need to be very careful when working on the edges to keep the edge neat.
