My regular (Monocote) iron is at my shop hobby room and it's in rough condition anyway. Impatient on my new iron delivery from Amazon I decided to shrink the bottom covering with a traditional iron. I monitored the heat before starting the shrinking and large iron worked well, very well. The covering is very tight.

What is the neatest way to trim excess covering?

Paint the corner or edge with some stix-it let it dry and then cut the glue will hold everything together.
