Paola, It may just be that you need better blades; the inexpensive knives come with blades that are thinner than the "standard" X-Acto type, and they do tend to flex a lot more. Also keep in mind that as your blade gets dull, you apply more pressure to the cut, and this will also cause the blade to "wander" a bit. -- Mike Hungerford http://users.sdccu.net/chthulhu2/models.html Eschew catachresis! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
