I sand the edges lightly (600 grit sandpaper), clean the remaining dust with rubbing alcohol, let the edges dry, and treat the edges with blue loctite (applied with a cotton swab). I also use the loctite on the unfinished countersunk holes to prevent splintering. Total time invested is roughly 15 minutes for all of the carbon found in your typical TC kit. Many people go the extra mile and polish the edges, but I generally don't find that level of detail necessary.
