First, use a combination of the extendable box cutter blades, it will allow you to cut lines as much as 1 inch thick, and as your blade dulls, and it will, You can just snap off the end and get fresh blade surface. The other blade I like is a #11 exacto or generic for tighter curves. Or having a swivel blade accessible when needed. The other thing that will make a huge difference is having a peice of hard pressed cardboard (Like what comes off the back of a paper tablet)under what you are cutting. And for sharp clean corners alway cut from the corner and out and away. Hope this is helpful. Liz -- K.
