 Cappers - cutting for curves

(A) Along the back edge of the capper, measure 25mm (1") in from each side and cut from this point out to the front corner of the bull nose. For tighter curves, measure in 50mm (2")

(B) For internal curves, reverse the above methods by measuring in along the bullnose and cutting out to the back edge of the capper.
