Solar film trimmer

Hi everyone, I've seen (somewhere) a little gadget for trimming solar film. Does anyone know what there are called? I spent ages trawling through the WWW but I'm getting fed up now.
.....Anyone?

I think SLEC do one. Try here: [url=www,slec.uk.com]www,slec.uk.com[/url]

Marty - I think they are commonly called Stanley knives! Hope this helps!

Sorry the link came out wrong shuld have been:http://www.slecuk.com/online-shop.html

I bought one from a show a couple of years ago. It's like a double edged razor blade in a plastic moulding that has a few slots at the edges. I seem to remember it being call ed a crafty cutter or something similar.

I found I can't be doing with it anyway, and instead a fresh scalpel blade, or single edged razor blade is much better....

Thanks for that m8 ..... most helpfull! maybe I should have called the thread "can I use a stanley blade to trim solarfilm"

Thanks for the link Mel, just the job!
I'm sorry to hear Andy didn't get on with it, has anyone else used one?
I find a normal scalpel or "Stanely Blade" tends to wander and gives me an un-even edge

Glad I could be of service!

Joking aside Marty - you tried a sharp blade and a metal ruler? Always used to work for me back in the day!

I must admit I havn't but everytime I've tried to trim the film neatly I always end up juggling! just looking for an easyer way.......

Paint?

I think it's a Topflite SmartCut Trimming Tool 6pound99p plus post
Brilliant gadget enables a really neat overlap
You might even get one at Steve Webbs

That looks like a handy tool Paul, has anyone used one?

My friends use something called "breakfest paper" (for wrapping sandwiches - not for eating it ...very thin paper) - they put it on a model - mark it, and then put on film - laying flat on the table.
Cut then (easy peasy) and they place it on a model - no need to trim it later.

Thanks for that Rob but TBH it's far too complicated mate! All I wanna do is tack the film round the wing and run a tool round the outside and end up with a neat edge which is then folded round.
I can't be arsed with all that faffing about with templates!
