Hot knife glue & adhesive cutter & foam blocks sheets
Burbank, Calif. (September 21, 2001) - Finally, professionals in the adhesive & foam industries get the right tool at the right price with the Crafter's Hot Knife. Featured in Feb 2005 on Good Morning America in their Million dollar Idea segment for promising inventors.
Out in Summer of 2001, TL Marshall Company released a the tool for cutting & melting wax and soon found it popular amoung industries cutting adhesive block and foam sheets. The hot knife also caught on with theater crews building props and sets. The Crafter's Hot Knife is a step up from traditional wire cutters, offering maneauverability and rigidity as two clear advantages. "The Crafter's Hot Knife brings a new dimension to the modeler's table for carving many types of foam. The knife makes plunge cuts into blocks and shapes possible. Bow cutters cannot make the plunge cuts. The maneuverability of the knife is superior to anything else that I have found on the market," says Miles Hale, Master Model Railroader, Vice President Association of Professional Model Makers. The most distinguishing difference of The Crafters Hot Knife is the rigid and solid, 6" Stainless Steel blade. It slices quickly and cleanly through high-density foam without bending, warping or breaking like common wire cutters.
