I use a box knife and a good metal straight-edge/yard stick.

Careful not to slip and cut some fingers!

I believe a good, sharp scissors would work all right and would be pretty safe. Otherwise order your pieces precut.

I actually have the wrap from some spare a member here gave me. I do have a yardstick and a razor box cutter. Will give that a go.

Tim - Score it on the first couple of passes, then apply pressure for the final cut. It'll cut clean, no ragged/torn edges.

Gerald.. The box cutter and a straight edge as Purdie says is best... Scissors/Shears etc, tend to distort the edge of the wrap due to the unequal pressure from both sides.

Ok guys, thanks, going to give it a go. I will just measure 1/2" on the underside and mark it with a dot and line the yard stick up with them and hopefully that will work. It should.

Tim - Please be careful with the box-cutter... I had one finger slip off of a staight-edge 25 years ago and nearly completely severed the pad on my index finger. Doc had to sew it back in place.

Be careful and don't rush the cut. Score it lightly a couple of times before making the final plunge cut with the blade. You won't have to use any 'force' to cut the wrap if you do it gradually this way.

John

Get yourself a piece wood to put under the wrap. About the same length as the wrap. Then place your yard stick or straight edge where you going to cut and Clamp it with a couple of C-clamps. That way the straight edge stays in place and you don't have to worry about it sliding around when you cut. You can also use an old table that you don't mind curving up.

Thanks for the info John. I was looking at it totally from a safety standpoint. I think you and Purdie have providied some good info to try. Biggest thing is stay focused and be careful.
