To field cut star panels for protruding objects such as drop beams,
canned lights, or air conditioning vents, mark the location of the
protrusion on the upper (unfinished) side of the panel. Use a sharp
NON-SERRATED knife or box cutter. Cut the desired shape down
through the fiberglass but NOT THROUGH THE FABRIC. Set your
knife blade. Take your time!
Remove the cut fiberglass
piece from the panel.
Carefully cut a clean
“X” into the center of
the fabric.
Fold flaps back through
the opening.
Spray back of loose flaps
with a 3M super 77 spray
and press flat to surface
If a fiber or 2 is placed in a location you need to cut out
simply cut the fiber, use the poker tool to make another hole
in a location you desire, and push fiber through.
(It may not be necessary to do this as each board is populated evenly.)
CUSTOM CUTTING
NOTE:
Always cut on a flat surface.
Spare cardboard works great. Make sure
your knife is sharp so you don’t tear or pull
the fabric
