Exacto knife not go all the way?
What exacto knife are you using? Any regular exacto knife goes right through fine, for the 1/2 EVA Foam. It can even go through the 3/8th " thick ones as well.
Tips:
Cutting mat. GEt one that can cover a decent size. I bought one that covers my entire dining room table
Make sure that the cutting area is at least waist high to you. Its best if you are standing while cutting because you can get a "straight down view" of your foam.
Insert your exacto straight down while cutting. With even pressure, follow your template lines to cut. Do not lean your knife, as this creates the slant edges you may see.
Replace your blade every so often, as it can get dull very quickly.
Many here swear by hot knives/exact knives. I find the normal exactos to work fine.
