Sounds like a personal problemI tried hot knife wire cutter, it was sh*t.
A sharp razor works.
Hot wire is great, once you get the hang of it. Too slow, and you burn the foam; too fast and it drags.
You're right, though. With the right technique, razor knives are great.
This works even better if you retire the lawn tool to craft projects and use real knives to carve the turkey.I use a simple 3 step process. Not responsible for you F-ing up step 3.
Step 1: Outline guns / accessories with white or black grease pencil.
Step 2: Wait until wife is out of the house for the required time.
Step 3: Cut outlines with the electric carving knife you use for the Thanksgiving turkey and most importantly, finish before she returns home.
Looks pretty decent in my 2 rifle Pelican cases and is quick. Might take me a while to post a pic, but occasionally folks have asked if the case was bought pre-cut.
@andrew1220 you can try sharpening the blades with a round file.
