Craig,
I'm in the process of putting some insulation down on my 75 Bricklin
that I'm restoring. I've found the same problem that you describe. I
borrowed a pair of large heave metal shears from an upholster friend of
mine, and they wouldn't cut the stuff. What I found was, my wife has a
couple of pairs of scissors that I'd describe as cheap looking, compared
to the old fashioned heavy metal ones. They have a very thin, almost
flimsey looking cutting legs and plastic handles. I think the legs are
either an aluminumn aloy or possibly stainless steel. These scissors
don't feel very heavy either. But the DO cut this stuff.
Hope this helps.
John
