What is the accepted method of obtaining a nice edge on a kevlar part? All the methods I have tried (basically all the usual fiberglass and carbon fiber cutting and finishing techniques) result in a furry edge. I have tried tacking down the fur with resin but that results in hard Aramid/Kevlar hairs sticking up from the edge perfect for sticking into soft body parts. Suggestions?
