Anyone have experience in cutting latex foam?  I will need to make some cuts in 3" latex and wanted to make the cuts as straight and neat as possible.  Thanks.

No experience here, but an electric carving knife has been suggested.

Experimented with a steak knife and it leaves a jagged cut.  What worked best so far is a long blade plastic utility knife or box cutter with the blade extended all the way out for 3" foam.  It made a clean straight cut.  I will also use a straight edge when making my final cuts.

Said to cut like butter... must be the opposing blade action.

To be natural is such a very difficult pose to keep up :)

Hmm I think it will be easily cut with the use of hacksaw blade and a propane torch!!
