Here is a picture: http://www.tools-plus.com/sta10-113.html I still prefer using a very large old Chicago brand butcher knife. I sharpen it with a belt sander and/or file. A sheet of plywood across a couple of saw horses keep the work up off the floor. (top posted for your convenience) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^... |

This will save you from problems in the future. -- JerryD(upstateNY) "Jim in PA" |

Roxul salesman once gave us cheap serrated bread knives, never tried it but should work. Carpet or lino knife sounds like a good choice also. "RicodJour" |

IMHO carpet cutting knives which have a longer blade work well also. Wear at least a particle mask - people who don't are risking their lungs. . ... |

That's not *too* much more headroom than furring strips and 12" tile attached by staples. I think cost will probably be the deciding factor (I know drywall is cheaper, but I'm tired of finishing drywall). I appreciate the information. . ... |
