It actually takes me longer to strip the satin strips!! Tying the whole thing maybe 5 minutes or so. I'm actually thinking about pulling all the non-shiny fibers from the satin and leaving maybe 1/8" or less at the top and then cutting it off and they wouldn't be loose. I'll post a pic at home tonight to show it.
Cool.....post a pic. I am working on the best idea also. I have pulled all shiny and made into pile. The pile is hard to manage because the pieces stick togethor.
