There are a couple of things you can do to make the job of weeding easier. First try to use as product on the has a sticky backing to it incase you do accidentally pull up the wrong section you don’t have to start over. Next make sure your cutter’s blade is in good shape and the cutting strip is not damaged. This will help you get the precise cut you need to quickly tear away big sections.
