That's funny, I've trimmed better than 100 bodies with mine and they are just as good as they were out of the pack.

sc oring takes some practice and a steady hand, and usually a sharp and broken tip with a good amount of pressure.. how ever it is dangerous and you can end up slicing your self pretty good for a cutting surface. corners of tables work nicley as well as thighs and small/medium sized dogs roughly 16-18 inches long (dogs not so much)

i just started doing this myself with my nitro trucks. i have cut a few bodies out this way now. works very well, leaves nothing to sand.
i can cut out an entire body now in about 7 minutes.
thats including ruining the body with a hole in the w/s so nitro can breathe :neutral::?

Ive had pretty god luck with toenail clipper scissors, like from walgreens.
They dont get dull quickly(not as fast as body scissors) and there small and curved to cut tight curves.
