When you are doing pepakura. What is your main way of doing it? Do you cut the paper into smaller sized peaces? Do you use a ruler when you do. Do you see a considerable difference? I'm just curious what other people methods are.

Aye, I usually use a pair of scissors to cut like the normal tabs and pieces out of the paper. When I get those tiny tabs, I use an uber sharp knife to cut it. Normally I use a ruler when it comes to the valley folds, and typically do the mountain folds by hand without a ruler. Depends on how the tab is and some other things. I typically use wood glue by Titebond. I find the wood glue works much better at securing the tabs to other pieces. It actually cures stronger than the paper :joy:

Normally, when I was using like an X-acto to cut pieces out, I would just free hand cut it without using a ruler. I found that I messed up on cuts more often free hand, but it works better with larger pieces/parts of pep. Using scissors is slightly less accurate than using an x-acto with a ruler, but it is a little faster for me to do.

I never considered using sciccers might start using the on the longer straights. I use a pen to mark Valley lines and mountains to push the paper down a little before folding.

Yeah. Scissors work great for cutting out larger pieces. BUT! This will make your scissors dull suuuuuppppeeeerrrr fast.
