Long story short, fully let go of clutch before use of gas and don't use the gas to slip the clutch even if it makes it more smooth. This is one of those times where I'd wish my clutch wasn't so soft lol.

So as long as I don't glaze the clutch i.e hold it at the friction point for 2-3 seconds I should be fine?

Just to clarify...
Use the bolded technique only when shifting. The clutch is designed to slip on startup from a stop. It's fine (and recommended) to modulate to clutch when you start the car moving as long as you apply a low amount of power until the clutch hooks up.

Might be obvious, but had to make that clarification just in case.
