Anyone have experience of cutting plastazote? Is a thermocutter the way to go? There are many thermocutters out there from £25-£150 with all sorts of different cutting attachements, so any pointers would be appreciated! I realise that a long bladed knife might be the logical/simple option, but I don't want to miss an opportunity to upskill.

I'd just use a long blade reach on a snap-off knife and heat it a bit over a blow lamp.
You can extend to about 6cm on a 20mm knife blade.
When are ever going to need a thermocutter again?
