A heavy duty trimmer works well. I have one of those big office types that I use for chipboard and other heavier stuff.

I was not that impressed with the hambly thick overlays. They scuff and scratch REALLY easily imo. Did you have that problem?

i've not had a problem with them getting scuffed up yet. i tried using my large carl cutter which is a heavy duty one, to cut it and it still slid while i was trying to cut it.

I've used a craft knife and steel rule- my trimmer wasn't up to the job at all!

box cutter and steel rule. I love my box cutter, just keep a sharp blade in it.

Thanks for the heads up about the scuffing...I got my first Hambly ol's this week, now I'll be better prepared.
