Just cut it like that, but I found mermaid Raven when she re-did my tail she re-alexed the tail to give it more texture and she actually had the stuff coming off the edges. It gave it a much more natural tattered edge look that I prefer

I haven't started yet, but I will probably use ALEX.

well as Aniar says you can cut it like that especially if you use Alpex...

that's mostly from the monofin ridges underneath but you simply add texture with your latex

Also, as the ALEX dries it becomes tacky at which point you can mold it a little bit.
