Carving / cutting out TPE------ Question

Post by justintime »

Hello everyone, can anyone tell me the best way to cut/carve out TPE.

I am thinking about a loop attached to a soldering iron.

I did it with tweezers and scissors. Pulled with tweezers TPE and cut with scissors.

I use scissors to cut it out how i like. Heat is very dangerous and should be done with a good amount of cross breeze going. This way you will not get too ill. Too much heat will simply melt it and compromise the strength.
Not much is known about the long term affect of working with this material.
