Any rubber cutting tricks for scissors?

[ricospin]

A bad rubber cutting job isn’t the worst thing that could happen, but the best thing that could happen would be a perfectly cut rubber.

any tips with scissors? Brands/types of scissors to use?

or maybe it’s better with razor or a hobby knife (x-acto)

Yes. You can wet those regular scissors with water or ammonia glass cleaner like Windex for a better cut or get sharp ones like the Kai 5626. Alternatively, you can use a heavy duty utility knife with 18mm snap off blades but you'll need a cutting board/a thick old magazine/soft backing of some sort that you can safely cut into.

Having to break out such a board of safe under-mat is exactly why Carl discovered that scissors are much more practical. You bust 'em out, go to work, and it is job done before the other guy pulls .1% of hiz head outta hiz azz.

But scissors require practice!
