PRO Foam Insert Cutting
Step 1: Preparation
Before you do any cutting, firstly position your items in the desired layout
on the foam. Please ensure you leave at least 10mm spacing.
Once you are satisfied with the layout and spacing, it is advisable to take a
photo for reference.
Step 2: Outline cut
Now pick a start point, using just one item.
Remove all other tools and accessories from the foam. Softly press the item
into the foam and, with the blade in an upright position, cut lightly around
it – for best results, cut neatly and as close to the item as possible.
Step 3: Finish the outline
Once you have cut the full outline, you can then remove the item from the
layout and continue cutting through to the desired depth, approximately 3/4 of
the item’s overall depth.
Step 4: Press down and cut
Press down on the area to be cut away with your fingers. This will create a
gap between the foam you are leaving and the foam you are removing. Now you
can carefully cut at an angle all the way around the shape, always working
towards the centre.
Step 5: Cut inwards to remove
Keep cutting around the outline, working your way inwards from both sides in
an effort to start removing the foam.
On shallow items; once an amount of foam has been cut, it is possible to lift
the foam and undercut the shape.
When you meet in the middle, you can then remove the foam, creating the space for the item. If required, remove any excess foam and use the scalpel blade for smoothing. Repeat the process for each item as per the desired layout. For deeper section cutting i.e. beyond the length the scalpel blade: Repeat the same process as described for shallow items until the overall desired depth is achieved.
WARNING!
This product is supplied with an extremely sharp blade. Please take extra care
when using the cutting tool. It is recommended that you wear protective gloves
during use. Ensure the blade is discarded in a safe responsible manner.
