Cutting Rubber made easy.

Have you done so much to the car today that it just doesn't fit into one section, or are you too damn lazy to split it all up? Either way, this is the section for you.

Cutting Rubber made easy.

Post by Briano1234 »

Have you ever tried to whittle a hunk of rubber for a car project?

Well I have, and always had to resort to a Sawz-All.
Not any more thanks to 2 inventions I have discovered the easy way.

1. Invention. WD-40
2. Invention. The TV Ginsu Knife.

I needed a hunk of rubber about 1 inch thick, and I had a old Motor Mount.
I Sprayed it with WD-40, and started using my Ginsu Steak Knife. When it started to Drag I re-sprayed with WD-40.
It was a Piece of cake.

Just a FYI. For those that already knew this, cool for those like me who have struggled in the past....Neat.

Yes as matter of fact, I have the Luck o'the Irish...everything I touch turns to fertilizer of the bovine variety.

Tried it before. I cut a thick rubber mat using a utility knife and spray it with wd40.

Mat's are different than Chunk Rubber. I to tend to Cut Rubber Mat's with a Utility knife and some lubricate.
