Ed,
	The last time I needed to cut a VDG belt (out of thin latex) I
bought a set of straight bladed craft scissors.  

	These worked very well as they have a very sharp continuous edge,
I'd tried all manner of scalpels and other scissors and got exactly the same
ragged edges as you report.

To cut the latex I wrapped it over a thin piece of card and cut both
together, this helps to keep the latex stable as you cut.

Cheers
	Derek

    Do any of you have experience with cutting VDG belts from thin material
like Theraband?  I have just made a couple of narrow replacement belts using
serrated barber's shears and am unhappy with the usual jagged edges.
Anybody have a better way?

Help appreciated,

Ed
