 Subject:  What are you using to slice them off?List thread.

If you are using an exacto knife blade, thats your problem. Use a single edge razor blade, its much thinner and sharper, and will cause less curling. A slight rocking motion will help it slice through with less resistance, and cause less distortion. It will also slice through your finger quite easily as well, so take it slow!
