Sharp #11 blade. Need a BUNCH of them. I buy them by the 100 pack and go through them in a month or two.

Use Micro Sol (the red stuff) to rehydrate them and cut with a sharp #11 blade where they overlap to reduce that effect.

Also patience is critical. I've learned that the hard way.

Hope this helps...
