Hello collegues,
Does anyone have any great ideas for finishing the edge of a carbon socket?  I often have the problem of the socket feeling smooth after buffing and wet and dry sanding, but still cutting into the prosthetic socks.  It was suggested to try Sheer Ban but I wanted to ask the list if there is anything similar to door edge guards or another very thin finishing tape that would work well and stay in place.  Black electrical tape works great for about a day before peeling off.  Thanks
