but as my method occasionally fails it's good to know of an alternative.

Really? You have to do two conversions (epub -> rtf, rtf -> epub), which takes time. If this were a race, I'd use Calibre's Tweak epub option to pop open each book, open the .css into Notepad (opens really quickly), find my offending left-margins and delete them, and be on the 10th book before you had finished your first conversion back from rtf to epub. And my books wouldn't suffer from potential conversion issues (it's not as bad as re-re-recompressing video, but you absolutely can run into formatting and character errors if you go back and forth between formats).
Good thing it's not a race
Also, why would anybody Google for Sigil? I provided a link. And I think you and I have had this discussion before, so obviously you're not going to change how you clean up your epubs. Just as I'm not going to change my view that you're pounding in a thumbtack with a sledgehammer.
