One trick I learned was to jusy hold the xacto blade just at the very end of the handle and with just your pointer finger and thumb. You just drag the knife where you want it to cut and let it do the work. Much easier to get consistant flowing lines, rather than holding like the knife like a pencil and trying your damnedest to draw a straight line, cut deep enough to get thru the tape, and not so deep you really score the lexan.
Yeah, I cut a little too hard and deep into the body, i'll have to try that suggestion next time.
