So the trim method means to do something like get a 2D side profile curve like this and use it as a cutting object on just one piece - this will involve simpler planar projections rather than surface/surface intersections between skimming surfaces and is more likely to succeed:



That will then get it partway there, then the more difficult part is getting the other piece trimmed which will involve trying to cut it with stuff like this:
