    [cream egg advert] how do u do yours? [/cream egg advert]

    i have used craft knife (slow but no dust), hacksaw blade (some large dust), dremmel (fast & lots of fine dust) and i used a face mask

    the dust is nasty but the craft knife takes ages to do so i havent decided on the best yet used a guillotine at school that ruled but i cant afford one :waah:

    I just run a stanley knife accross it once then snap it. It snaps perfectly every time.

    try doing a few strokes (hard strokes) with the knife, to get a deep start off, then snap.
    or try running the knife on both sides, then snap.

    I use the dremil :naughty:

    Just make sure to wear a dust mask, as that stuff will clog up your lungs and probibly take a few years off your life ;)
