Here are the answers that I received regarding the CurveMaster.
What is an Iceross Curvemaster? If it is used to cut silicone/urethane liners than why not use a round blade like that of a pizza cutter?
That is pretty much all I use. The round blade works well, is cheap and can be purchased at Lowe's, Home Depot or through most distributors like pel. You simply mark where you want to cut, lay the liner out on a cutting board or benchtop and make 1 cut going through both sides. The only thing to remember is when you get to the edges of the liner try to keep the cut at a 90 degree angle from the edge. Otherwise you end up with a corner on the cut liner. Pel's part number is 700-TL002 Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions.
I use a pair off pinking shears that does not cut a zig zag , but rather a sinusoidal curve. The cut actually increases the proximal circumferance when over stretched. Most fabric stores carry these.
A very sharp scissors and a stainless steel stirrup with a torch. Heat the stirrup and melt the edges after you have cut it. If you want a perfect circle use a tube to firm up the liner and a rubber band snapped around it makes for a nice tracing pattern.
