Can you explain exactly what it is that is coming off?
When you file your NNO at the edges, be sure you use your file at a 45 degree angle - i uploaded some pics here awhile ago, to explain/show the edge filing technique - i'll go see if i can find them.
Ok, I've found them - scroll down the thread as it's talking about 'curling' but take a look at the pics i uploaded, that's whgat i mean about a 45 degree angle

are you filing it off at your final shaping stage....?? i cap with each layer of gel i do....this allows for a light tidying of the free edge just before my topgloss gel....any more than a tidy up with a 240 and you will be removing that capped free edge.

Hey...I do the same as angie...I cap on every layer. With nno I find my gel shrinks a little more so capping is really important. Can you explain your method to give a clearer picture?
