You need a entry point to begin your cut, such as the GTR I would start at the top of the door and follow the door line. On some parts you have to drill a hole and poke the thread through to begin, or scribe a spot open and poke the thread through that gap.
The thread works with friction. First put the body in a vise. Then, I grab a piece of thread about 8 - 10 inches long and wrap it around a finger on each hand. Next, with the thread straddling the body line, I pull it back and forth like a saw blade. It takes about 3 seconds for the plastic to soften and start to cut. Remember, to not pull too hard and snap your thread, and pay attention to the direction you pull with your hands so the thread will follow the body line. I would recommend cutting for short periods and check your work often so, that you are sure to get the best results.
Hope it helps,
