Streets how do you make em?

For cutting strip styrene or small sheets of styrene, an X-Acto blade works well enough, but for larger sheets, especially thicker ones, a utility knife is a better choice. Change or sharpen the blade often, as it will dull rapidly when used on styrene. For cutting sheets, score it a couple of times, then snap it along the score line. For a road, you'll not likely see the edges once it's been installed, but to clean-up the edges when constructing sidewalks, building walls, etc., I find that dragging the edges over a sheet of medium grit sandpaper works well. The stuff which I use has a very heavy paper backing, so it lies flat on the workbench, but for thinner sheets, tape it in place (grit side up, of course Misngth Misngth ).
