My brother is attemting to modify a mini and is having trouble cutting the weapon2274247303 he wants to use. His exacto knife isn't sharp enough to cut the resin. Any suggestions on what to use to do that?

Sprue cutter. The link is to the one I use, but other companies make them as well.

What kind company's resin is he trying to cut? I would also recommend the sprue cutter, primarily because it will leave one side of the cut flat instead of angled. The toe nail clipper is going to leave both sides of the cut angled.

For a straight cut:
Xacto makes the same blade. Same number. [ 13 ] Might not be easy to find.

Thanks for the suggestions. My brother found a saw blade that cut the resin really well.
