Andrew C Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Sharp stanley knife, i done some pads today with one. I found it was the only way to get the pads down to the exact size (not easily done) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leistonbmx Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Use an engineer's square to get it squared and use a metal rule with stanley knife to make sure thatthey are cut straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 a stanley knife with new blade and a bit of water for lube works the best I have found (and I have cut a LOT of material). It goes through like butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes through like butter. This. make sure you clamp it securely and watch your fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I've still got a scar on my palm from cutting some Coust pad material (yes, it was original ) up. Got it shortly after Ads told me on MSN that everyone who cuts pads will stab themselves at one point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
