>I want the recessed area. I want to strip it all at once by just cutting the forms on the recess line and stripping it normal.

I guess I don't fully understand how you intend to do that. If you have an idea you think will work, give it a try. Just because we can't visualize your idea does not mean it won't work. If it won't work, you probably will see so immediately and you can always go back to the way I suggest.

Let us know how it works.
