Tes vidéo sont génial ça m'aide tellement. Je me demandais si tu allais a des evenement canadien comme comiccon ou otakuthon ?
EDIT: I'm guessing it's because I'm not angling my blades correctly. That said, how to you deal with smaller cuts? The thing I'm working on are small bits for hand armor and even with new blades the foam prefers to bend instead of being cut when I'm trying to go through small indents/crevices in the pattern. Is there a different technique to cutting those small crevices?
