Does anyone have some sharp linoleum (the printmaking type) cutting tools I can borrow?  I want to see if I can easily cut smooth-on rubber molds before I buy some myself.  Thanks in advance!

I was using surgical scalpels that worked great and are cheap(paid 15$ for 200 blades), and great for baking/cooking. The problem is that the rubber is so soft and easily deforms/bends when you try cutting it, so you want insanely sharp blades. I don’t think I left any at the space however, otherwise I could give you some. You’ll want to  try the 10, 11 and 12s depending on how you want to cut.
