Default RE: trimming the Whisker buscuit?

mammasboy, The whiskers are getting slightly displaced on the side toward shooter. I was able to rub the whiskers and they went back in place.

BOWFANATIC, Not a black scuff, I am shooting vane up and the vanes are not close to the black support whiskers. The left vane, looking toward sight, is getting the scuff on the edge. I am shooting Duravanes (not recommended for WB) at approx. 4 degrees right helical ( also not recommended). I am farily sure I have no tuning or fletch orintation issues.

Flash550, I bought the buscuit that Carolina Archery recommended for the type arrows I'm shooting. I have read that some people are using the alum. for carbons and this could help but the vanes extend into the whiskers approx. 5/8". Making the whole 1/8" bigger, IMO, could help but as the vanes don't lay down like feathers, I can't see it solving any rubbing or flight problems. I may be wrong and would entertain any thoughts on this.

I am pleased with the flight , groups and speed of the WB. I just want to trim the whiskers, as some have indicated would make a good rest better. I need some direction but if none is available, I will attack the buscuit with my scissors and if it dies, off to the shop to procure another[]. Don
