Ok to cut into this paddle?

[HP29]

I want to cut a trigger grip into a CCM 1060. 

Am am I going to have fibreglass fibres sticking out or strips chopping my hand up if I do this? It looks like there’s reinforcements running all up the paddle. 

Thanks!

You can take some steps to prevent any splintering:

1. After you cut, break the edges down with some grittier sandpaper, 60-100

2. Next, smooth it out with a finer sandpaper, 220 is good

3. Give it a few cotes of varnish, allowing them to dry in between.

Had great success with this. Worth the trouble!

I cut down the paddle on my True FC Pro A6.0 stick. After cutting down the paddle we used a 60 grit file to smooth the edges down. I believe we used a 120 grit file for smoother edges. While I didn't apply any sort of covering to the True stick I have used epoxy on a cut down Vaughn stick to prevent getting cut. No problems with the True stick though.

1. use it as a pattern and get it duplicated at passsau or northstarsticks

youll be fine. i did this on a sherwood 530. make sure to use sandpaper or a sander  on the cutout to smooth it out. if you want, tape over it to reasure you wont get splinters

@HP29 Check out this thread...

cut it, sand it, put some tape over it.  Done it plenty of times and even with composite sticks.  I like to add a thin piece of foam for comfort purposes because I tend to feel more vibration and somewhat of a recoil effect from shots when I use a trigger grip.
