Anyone have an idea why? Let me know if you need specs.
you can use a razor blade (super thin single-edges or a halved double-edge shaving blade is perfect) to cut the outside of the patch. doesn't come out as clean, but is easier...also easier to screw up too. ymmv. the sanding method definitely takes a little patience.

when you're adjusting your hop up (same goes for 99% of all hop up units on the market, r-hop'd or not) make sure to adjust up (increase hop) slightly after decreasing the hop setting to have the unit apply pressure properly.
