The Knick. To start the cut, first knick the piece in the reverse direction of how you’re going to cut it. This gets the cut started. If you don’t do this, I don’t care if you have a light saber, starting the cut will be a nightmare. Once you’ve made the starter cut—1-2 inches from the edge seems to work—then pinch the open ends in your fingers and start cutting the remainder.

Thanks for this tutorial on how to cut sheets of plastic. It is interesting that you mention how difficult it is to cut the material to size. Is there a special tool you could use to better cut it? Perhaps it might be beneficial to order it already cut as well.

It takes skill to know how to cut ceiling tiles properly, but a DIYer with skills can be successful with a little practice. Here’s the best way to cut ceiling tiles.

The Pull. Grab the corners and pull the piece out gently, keeping it as flat as you can. Like Saran Wrap in the kitchen. Have enough work area to draw it out to length. Tip: The rolls are 10-feet wide un-folded, so the length you’re pulling out of the box in some cases (like hanging a vapor barrier in a basement reno, right) is the height plus some extra for fastening.

The Cut. This is the convergence of technique and tool and where the long blade of the OLFA utility knife we’ve been using has earned a spot in our toolboxes. I extend the knife blade a few inches (only possible with this type of knife) and begin the cut. A long blade means more edge to slice plastic that is trying to unfold as you cut it.

Is this a perfect solution? No. The plastic is still the plastic; it lives to defy us. It’s slippery and really likes to stay in one piece.

Conventional milling is the traditional approach when cutting because the backlash, or the play between the lead screw and the nut in the machine table, is eliminated. Recently, however, climb milling has been recognized as the preferred way to approach a workpiece due to the fact that more and more machines compensate for backlash or have a backlash eliminator.

The Box. Open the box without destroying it. I cut a ‘lid’. Next thing, I reinforce the sides with what I call 100-mile-an-hour tape. In this case some rippin’ Gorilla Tape did the trick. Also, because the box isn’t wrecked, I can close it up and contain the remaining roll of plastic when I’m done.

Option. I cut plastic for this tool hack successfully by passing the blade through the plastic sheeting. You may also try putting a board down parallel to the box and cutting on it to help keep the plastic from unfolding.
