Working with it
- Knife
- Low density, so a sharp blade cuts it more easily.
- Laser
- Cuts fast, with minimal, light-colored scorch marks. Every laser is different. Cut a row of small circles, each with its setting etched beside it, and use the first circle that cuts fully through.
- Scissors
- 1/32" only.
- Sanding
- Sands like wood.
- Glue
- White glue or craft glue on dry pieces.
- Paint
- Paints smooth.
