Don't you get an annoying rippling effect along the cut edge? I had this
on my cooker hood. Used a very good quality pair of snips. But each time
I had to move them along and start a new snip I would get a slight
ripple in the metal.

Did you move on before you completely closed the snips?
You get the same effect with scissors on card if you close them all the
way before moving along.



Yes, I did move on before completely closing the snips. Maybe next time I
will get one of these.

You could cut some 1" wide strips from what's left.. fold them into a U
shape and attach them along the edges.
That will stiffen it, remove the sharp edges and probably look better.
