Someone asked me how I cut these and I thought it might be helpful to
describe:
I just use a sharp knife - one of those with the break off blades and a
fairly thin blade. I cut the outline first, cut undersized holes for
intake / exhaust, stick it on my head and let the ports guide the blade
edge as I carve them to size. Doesn't take me as long as described
below, but is a bit fiddly. It takes multiple passes to cut through the
material, if you're patient it's not too bad.
