There are two ways to deal with the braid: fold it back over the outer jacket or remove it; AD says to remove it.

Debraiding
Antennas Direct recommends that
especially if you are using their
connectors, the cable be fully debraided.
In other words, no little wires from the
braid should be visible. If you prefer, you
may fold the braid over the jacket (the
black plastic) smoothly and evenly.
To debraid the cable, rub it briskly against
the debraiding area several times until
all the little wires come off. At this point,
inspect the cable. All the braids should be
removed or folded over the black jacket,
and there should be no cuts in the foil.
You should not be able to see white foam
through the foil. The center conductor
should be nice and straight.

Guess I need to pay attention as to what type of coax I use, I assumed all RG6 were the same.

The OD of RG6 varies from brand to brand and even from type to type within the same brand, which is why you need the correct connector size for your RG6.

PCT claims that their PCT-TRS-6L is a universal connector for different sizes of RG6:
