What tool?
 
What tool do you use to cut the back window wider so the dual cell can fit?

I'd use an x-acto knife personally. Easy, quick, and sharp. :D

Its a little bit messy, but you could also heat up an old knife or something over a flame, and it will slice through the plastic very easily. Then, file the sides to make it even.

i saw at canadian tire a soldering gun tip that was flat with a blade for melting plastic (i should've bought one)

midget_man1387 02-17-2003 02:00 PM

yeah, that sounds like a good investment

hogjowlz 02-17-2003 02:23 PM

i always thought a canadian tire was a snow shoe.

'm using a scalpel so could I just heat it up with a soldering iron?

dabigpig 02-17-2003 02:48 PM

i would think so:)

you could use a candle, but it will char your blade, though.
