Europa-List: Trimming the XS canoe

After stashing away my wings while waiting on my strobes to arrive, I'm 
marching forward to CHAPTER 11! <fanfare please>

My question is about trimming the fuselage bottom < page 11-1 > The manual 
says to cut the molding at the trim line which is barley visible.  No problem 
there. Until I get next to the firewall... No trim line in the short rounded 
corner where regular epoxy stops, and phenolic resin begins.  Hummm... 

Question 1. 
Should I trim all the way to the flat edge of the firewall or should I leave 
the rounded Corner? 

Question 2.  
At the opposite end I see the trim line. I assume that I need to trim the 
area where the tail attaches as well. True?

Once again. Thanks to all for your opinions, tips, and most of all ... 
warnings.
