Cutting The Vinyl

Safety goggles are always recommended for all cutting and nailing operations. As on any construction job, use proper safety protective equipment and follow safe construction practices.

With a circular saw, install the fine-toothed blade backwards on the saw for a smoother, cleaner cut (especially in cold weather). Cut slowly. Do not attempt to cut materials other than vinyl with a reversed direction saw blade.

With tin snips, avoid closing the blades completely at the end of a stroke for a neater, cleaner cut.

With a utility knife or scoring tool, score the vinyl from the face side with medium pressure, and snap it in two. It is not necessary to cut through the vinyl with a knife.
