Default What to use to cut 12"x12" Spellbinders Tan Pad?

I've just enabled a friend to get some Nestability dies and we've gone halves on a 12"x12" Spellbinders tan polymer pad so I need to cut it in half.

What's best for the job please - craft knife or scissors? Thought I'd ask if anyone had done this already and knows the best way rather than making a hash of it LOL!

Many thanks!

I used the Tonic paper trimmer--it worked pretty well. HTH!

Are you talking about the guillotine style cutter? Or a rotary trimmer?

Thanks!

What about a craft knife w/a straight edge?

Hmmm, I didn't even consider my paper trimmer - not sure it would cut through that rubbery pad.

OK, it's done now. I tried my Fiskars rotary trimmer and that didn't cut all the way through - but I was able to finish off with my craft knife and a metal ruler.

Thanks for replying everyone!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! It was the tonic Guilletine trimmer.
