hand, allowing about two
inches to extend freely. Hold
the scoringwafer at a 45°
angle to the tubing. Exert just
enough pressure to put a
slight arc in the tubing. Pull
perpendicularly across the
tubing.
The tubing
should fall off
on its own, or it
should easily
break at the
scorewith a
slight tap of the
wafer.
Check the cut
against the
white of the
scoringwafer.

clean, square
cut.
