I don't think I've ever seen someone take the entire fat cap off; I usually just trim it until it's 1/2 inch thick, cut out the deckle, and chop any weird hangy parts. If you're trying to remove the fat cap though, it seems like you aceives your goal

The general consensus seems to be that leaving the fat cap doesn't add any moisture/flavor, and prevents seasoning from reaching the meat in those sections.
