Morning all

Have been experimenting with wax lately, and from my experiments have settled on using soft sheet wax, but wondered how you would go about cutting a pattern from the wax sheet so that the cut edges were crisp and clean. Have tried a saw, scissors, scalpel etc but still get a fair bit of drag on the top and bottom edges of the cut where wax has been pushed up, which I find tricky to remove. Any hints and tips gratefully received, also if there are any recommendations of a book or resource for working with soft wax sheet in particular.

Thanks!
