The solution is to cut tape from a roll of cloth. Then
: you only have to deal with frizzy edges causing a mess.

It is much nicer to cut with a rotary cutter (sold in fibric store .) It makes a cleaner cut compare with scissors.
If the edge fuss after epoxy, cut the bumps and lumps off with a sharp chisel bevel up flat on the surface -- an old cabinet builder trick.
