HINTS ON CUTTING LIGHT SEAL FOAM
	It is vital that the correct cutting tool be used and the best tool for this work is the cheap snap off blade knife that can be purchased for pence in some hardware stores. They usually come on a card of three or more and this is useful to ensure that there is always a sharp blade to hand
	When self adhesive foam is to be used mark the piece to be cut on the back. If non adhesive foam is to be used than mark the postion of the cut with a strip of masking tape.
	With most materials it is usual to cut the piece required from the main piece but in the case of the foam it will be the other way round. Place the straight edge on top of the piece to be cut and then cut away the main sheet. This keeps the thin slice to be cut flat and allows a clean cut. Any mis cuts being taken by the main sheet and not the piece you wish to use .Having marked the foam as described above you will be able to see the line of cut under the straight edge
	Although any substantial straight edge will do it is safer to use a piece of aluminium angle as shown as this will protect the fingers should the knife slip.
	It is important that as much of the cutting edge of the blade as possible comes into contact with the foam. The picture shows the WRONG WAY to position the blade
	Extend the blade to its full length and keeping as much as possible in contact with the materials draw the blade firmly and slowly across the foam. This picture shows the CORRECT WAY.
