What Can You Cut with a Hotknife? WATCH Before You CUT!

[@helendiglia9074]

Hi. On your fabric website, is it possible to add the line of, "Hot knife compatible? Yes or No".

[@SailriteWorkbench]

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out and expressing your interest in our fabric website. While we don't have a specific line that states 'Hot knife compatible? Yes or No,' we do provide detailed information about each fabrics composition on our website. Synthetic fabrics, with the exception of vinyl, are generally compatible with a hot knife. If you have any other questions or need assistance, please email us at [e-mail].

Thank you so much for this video! I just needed a simple answer and this is the only video(out of dozens I have watched) that gave it to me!

Would’ve been nice to show in real time and close up of Final Cut results.

What is the recommended method to clean the hot knife blade if it gets gummed up?

[@SailriteWorkbench]

Heat it up until close to cherry red then rub it with the wire brush it came with. Should be good as new after!

I wasn't expecting the issue with vinyl, I feel I learned something valuable today, even if I don't, yet, have a hot knife. are there attachments for that hot knife? I know some prop makers use a nichrome wire "blade" to cut foam.
