      If making a straight cut, use a hacksaw.  If cutting a curve a fine blade in a coping saw should work. If using electric tools a scroll saw is probably the answer, but use a fine blade.

        Hope Koparo does not chop a finger, but your suggestion is accurate.

        I should have said don't press too hard or push quickly if using a scroll saw otherwise the friction will cause the plastic to melt and stick to the blade.
