Dremel with a cutting disc. That's what I use, and gives really clean, thin cuts. Wouldn't use anything else. This is FORD country, on a quiet day you can hear Vauxhalls rusting. |

Its no wives tale, but you do need a split small enough. Either way when trimming up decent gloves, a decent mask and overalls are the way to go. Id even have a hoover on tap. My jigsaw has an attachment for it.
