I got a new Pelican gun case for my rifle and I have to cut the foam so the gun fits nicely inside. I don't want it to look all jacked up. Anybody have any tips/tricks to getting a nice cut on the foam?

I have seen it discussed on ar15.com. If memory serves, they used a heated up wire to get a clean cut.

Draw your lines on the foam. Use your electric fish filet knife.

You are welcome.
