I have cut foam sheets from 1/16 to 1/2" and I really have done well with it. On my Froggies, I slice off a length of 1/8" foam 1/8" wide for the smaller frogs and 3/16" wide for the larger frogs. I get real clean cuts with a sharp single edge razor blade. Do you remember anything about the Frog swap several years ago. Never heard any more. I forget the persons name now but he was either from England or Ireland.

I also suspect I need to look at a better glue as the adhesive I am using doesnt tend to hold well when I cut them..

To: [email protected] I have found a sharp razor blade and thin metal ruler or the roller type cutters the dressmakers use to get the cleanest straight edge cuts.

To: [email protected] Date: Monday, April 20, 2009, 6:02 AM I have tired some smaller dress making scissors, craft knife but they were not giving me a clean cut.. Perhaps I should invest in some kitchen scissors.. Are these the sort once can cut up a chicken with ? From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [VFB] Show preparations...

I have tried to cut with both scalpel and razor blade, but they often manage to compress the foam making the side angled. I realize that scissors must compress too, but somehow they have still given me the best results. /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] För Ian Mitchell Skickat: den 20 april 2009 12:37 Till: [email protected] Ämne: [VFB] Re: Show preparations...

Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 12:22:32 +0200 Going to Finland on Friday for Tampere FlyFair 2009 this weekend and I guessed I had to add an international hopper to my "wacky hopper stand". Finnish guys can be rather rough and coming there with a Swedish hopper and a Norwegian hopper but not a Finnish hopper, might put them off... so if I don't want to return home having a tan in the same colors as our own flag (blue and yellow), I thought I'd better have a new one with me this time.
