Is this material difficult to cut to a specific size and shape using a utility knife?

Yes, it's very easy to cut. I cut a piece off the end of mine to use in another area of my garage.

No. I found it very easy to cut with a sharp knife or one edge razor blade. A sharp utility knife should work well.

Hello. I had no problem cutting this material. however, I did not purchase the super thick mat. I used a sharp box knife and a straight edge and was super pleased. I mated 4 pieces to cover the room. I hope this helps : - )

It's pretty tough material. I had to use a circular saw to cut it to fit. Taking your time I'd think you could use a dremal.

These are made of a pliable foam/plastic type material. Although I have not tried to cut mine, I would probably use a power miter saw to do so for the cleanest cut. I'm sure it would cut with a utility knife (box cutter) as well.

I would believe that it all depends on the material, and the width of what you are cutting and the length of blade you are using. As the two gentlemen said, using as much of the blade in the cut as you can, and long stroke for wood and short for metal.

It's probably an inch thick but is plastic, so I doubt it would cut well or look right.

It is hard plastic and would not cut easily. Don't believe you would be happy with the result.

It's rather thick. It can be cut, but I think you'd need something other than scissors to do it. Good luck!

I never tried but I'm sure it could if you have a very sharp utility knife. It is pretty thick.

It's designed for one or more fairly thin layers of fabric, and only cuts a smooth curve for items 1-2 mm thick or less. I'm not sure 1/4" would fit within the radius of the blade. Even if it did fit under the blade, the resulting cut would be pretty choppy-- the blade won't roll smoothly if embedded so deeply. Slow manual cutting with an Exacto knife blade would be better.

That would make a huge mess but I guess you could do it. I used a large serrated knife and a metal straight edge. It's hard to cut precisely. The texture of the material is a little bit like a really firm cake. Due to the density you cant really compress it so cutting it with a power saw would be difficult. I did try my table saw and it clogged up the blade pretty quickly. If you want to use a power tool you might consider a carving knife, it works really well. Otherwise a serrated knife from your kitchen like a bread knife will do the trick

NO. Even with a straight edge it would be difficult. It is best for rough cutout work.

Yes, I thought it could be cut easily. I used a box cutter and scissors. It is pretty heavy plastic, scissors alone could not cut it.

Yes...I had a similar issue and I was able to cut to fit...only issue I would tell you is have very sharp scissors !!!!! tough to cut

I haven't tried, personally, but I'm sure it would depend on how tough your metal is. What are you wanting to cut?

It is a harder type of plastic..If I was going to cut it, I was use a hot knife and a straight edge. And, just keep working it.So, yes I think it could be cut, but not necessarily without effort..

Yes it is very adjustable and can be trimmed to fit with utility knife. Put mine on in a window with plexiglass, 3/8 think.

The material is heavy duty plastic but probably could be cut easily with a jig saw. Shouldn't be a problem at all.
