Product Instructions

Carving can be done using Stanley knives/box cutters or more high-powered tools such as electric knives/heat knives/saws etc.

As the carving process may result in the dulling of sharp instruments, using box cutters with cheap disposable blades would be more recommended than using a kitchen knife set! Box cutters also allow for more dexterity and precision movement meaning you can carve finer details easier.

Caution should always be exercised when carving this product with sharp instruments.
