Introduction video

Use a sharp blade. For example, "Pro Blade".
This is so sharp.

I always use "Running fire box cutter","Blade breaker",Cutting mat.
"Blade breaker" can break the blade easily.

Use Standard art knife or Cushion grip art knife to cut small ornaments etc, too.
Standard art kinfe is for 1.5mm thickness and 3mm thickness.
Cushion grip art knife is for 5mm thickness and 10mm thickness.

PVC pipe can be cut with a saw.
But a Pipe cutter is more better.
It can cut quickly and neatly.

Bend a PVC pipe by heat.
I reccomend a Heat gun. It's safety.
If you can't get it , use a Gas toach or a Lighter.

Hair dryers can't bend.
When you heat, equip globes always.

I use Thinned "Bond G17"(one of liqud glue in Japan) in this tutorial.
But this method is danger, then I don't recommend.
If accedents happens, it's self-responsibility.
I recommend Gesso or Wood glue thinned with water.

Paint "Bond G17"(one of sticky glue in Japan) thined with lacquer thinner three or four times.
Don't use fire until drying, because "Bond G17" burns easily. Don' use a Lighter etc until drying.
(It will char in seconds.)
Dry it about 2 ~ 6 hours.
