If you don't, you will find an excuse. ------------------------------------------------- Good judgement comes from experience. A lot of experience, comes from bad judgement. fulltimin • View posts Home is where we Park It.

By extending the blade out, I can now make a single cut through 1/2" thick insulation in one smooth swift cut. Makes life so much nicer. Yay! fulltimin • View posts Home is where we Park It.

Glad you asked. Below is a pic of one of the corners of a window frame. This happens to be the one on the copilot's side. The red arrows point to the little groove which is where the screws go to hold the window in place. You know, those screws which go all around the window from the inside through a piece of trim. Yeah, those. This is the groove for those screws. fulltimin • View posts Home is where we Park It.

The red arrow again shows the groove for where the screws go. The double green lines, is the space between window frame, and the frame of the wall. There needs to be a little clearance there to allow the window to be slid into place. Yeah, that was a long time ago. When I glued the insulation to the wall, it extended past the frame of the window. The area between the 2 blue lines was insulation and needed to be cut off. I figured it was easier to extend the insulation a little bit and then cut the excess off. The yellow line is where I put the loooong utility (box cutter) blade, and just cut through the insulation right next to the wall frame. Easy as pie.... And that, is how and why I bought the box cutter. It worked very well to remove the excess insulation, and leave the insulation flush with the side wall. fulltimin • View posts Home is where we Park It.

Like I said, it was much easier to cut these off after it was glued in place, rather than try to cut the insulation before gluing it in place. fulltimin • View posts Home is where we Park It.

In case I didn't get it across properly, this is what I was trying to say concerning trimming the insulation after gluing it in place. Hopefully, this makes sense. I could not do this with a normal utility knife, as the blade is not long enough. LouLawrence • View posts Traveling the US!

Do you think it's a bit much to make 7 posts to explain that you used a razor knife to cut some foam?
