Using the scriber

Keep the tool perpendicular to the panel and work slowly to avoid gouging the sides of the line. When opening a door or trunk, scribe gradually around all sides and break through the lines at about the same time. Plan the opening before applying primer or paint, because paint adds thickness and the gap needs enough clearance for the part to move.

If an opening becomes too wide, sheet plastic can be used separately to fill the gap before the piece is fitted. The available product information does not state that sheet plastic or other finishing supplies are included.
