    I just received my first kit. I separated the scored portions at the bottom of the bag, but I didn’t realize the top was also scored until after I attached the 2 sided TPU ribbon piece. I don’t have quite enough of the ribbon to redo it on the correct part. Is it a better idea to weld the other side of the ribbon to the bag’s top (creating a ribbon sandwich) or attach the red bag score material to the actual bag (red on red welding)? I don’t think I’ll have much success removing the ribbon with heat. Please let me know if there are any better options out there.

      Hi troc, thanks for the feedback – I will try to make that more obvious.

      I think it will be easier if you simply trim off the red fabric and make a sandwich like you described. Remember you will need to extend the strip past the edges of the bag so you can attach the buckle. If you’ve trimmed the end flush with the edge of the bag, you can splice on an extension.

      Happy new year!
