How do you mod your mesh lavers?

Post by Jdigges »

I was just wondering how everyone else moded their mesh lavers. I cut out the insde white layer of my lavers on my toe and inside parts. I have seen other people cut off the outside layer though, exposing the white inner layer. i was just wondering which method seems to work better and how many people do which one.

I Think more people cut out the inside layer. I heard if you cut out the outside mesh that the inside layer is more lyable to fray and stuff and the mesh is strong and very thin so i think most people cut out the inside , but i think there are a few who cut out the mesh.
