Step-by-step Guide to Lapping Rat Guard and Z-trim
Notching the pieces allows them to fit together tightly and also holds them there.
Follow these steps for notching:
1. Cut notches in one piece (either angled or straight) with a pair of tin snips.
2. Open the hems on other piece with a utility knife.
3. Insert the notch into the hem.
And there you have it – two pieces nicely nested together for that beautiful, finished look!
