Can this material be cut with scissors easily? Or do you need to use special tool to cut it?

They cut excellent with scissors. I found that out after using a box cutter knife.

It's PVC like material and yes it's very easy to cut. I used a circular saw and a jig saw and neither one of them had a problem. Just don't do like I did and cut the wrong side. Their is a top and bottom, just read the instructions to figure that out.

I haven't tried, but I doubt scissors could do the job. The pad is about 1/16 of an inch thick, but it is soft flexible material. You might be able to cut through it with a box cutter or other razor type knife, but it would take several passes, and you would lose the pad's nice rounded corners.

Yes, you could definitely cut it.Continued:The material is unmarked, but is similar to ABS plastic (legos). A hack saw or dremel tool would cut it easily, a micro serrated knife would be slow going, but work. If you use an abrasive method (like all mentioned) a quick application of flame will smooth it out, and expose you to only minimum toxic fumes. If you have never use fire to smooth plastic, do it in a darker place, as the plastic can catch fire and burn so cleanly that the flame is invisible under bright light.

Yes, it can be cut using a good sized size or knife. Is do it slowly to make sure out comes out right. Really durable otherwise.

Yes, you can cut it but you need a sharp scissors or shears. It is a very nice product.

It can be cut with the right tool. You'll need a sharp roller and no-cut pad that you can find in any fabric or craft store.

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

I used scissors to cut with no problem, I am certain xacto for any intricate cut will be fine too. Good luck!

You have to cut it but it is easy. I just used as regular pair of office scissors. I am happy with this product

I think one can easily cut it with good household scissors though I haven't tried it. The Fresnel pattern is circular and centered in the sheet of material.

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 : - )

I would not know why it could not be cut. I would use a box cutter to do it as sissors might have a difficult time doing it.

Yes, it is easy to cut. Make sure you consider the length. You may need more than one.

Yes! I just used a quick and easy skill saw. It's too thick to cut with scissors.. if that's what you're wondering.

I did it easily with just regular scissors although the result was a little jaggy. Make sure you cut the BACK so that it won't show and no one gets hurt...

Being a plastic material, I suppose it could be cut. Because they are so inexpensive, my recommendation is to buy several.
