    • @BardsCraft
      @BardsCraft  5 лет назад

      Drawing cuts, that's the key. The kitchen knife had not been sharpened in a few months. The utility knife is sharp, of course.

    • @BardsCraft
      @BardsCraft  5 лет назад

      Of course, I just can't tell how well because i have not used it. I have only used finnish xps foam. Perhaps your material is a bit more crumbly and easier to crack?

    • @blacksmithsforge640
      @blacksmithsforge640 5 лет назад

      It’s more compact. I’ve got a Hotwire but the cuts can be uneven.
