I STILL will forget to do this and it's SOOOOOOOOO much easier and better to do it as you did there.

Right on! Thanks for the reminder.

Ha ha, I've been telling everyone that I'm a genius, but you're the first person who's believed me!

Leaving it untrimmed also helps prevent the edge burning away when welding.
