cutting foam

i would use david's method if i had one of those blades around - they work great. for this case however i used a larger sized xacto blade (standard pointed shape) and plunge it and saw around on my line like a jigsaw. this cuts between half and 3/4 through my 1.5 inch foam, depending upon pressure. ...
