I'm about to fit black silicone to My intercooler piping and I am buying it in a 1m length. How do you guys cut silicone neatly? Every time I have cut it with a razor, it turns out messy..
So is there a technique to it? Or am I just being too rough?
Cheers, Locky.

put some Teflon tape or masking tape where your cutting and use a fine tooth hacksaw blade

I have to cut this stuff daily.. I use a ruler & mark spots an inch apart around the hose & then use a flexible ruler to mark out a line, then you have to cut it fairly quicky to avoid slicing massive gashes
Another way is to put a cut in it about 2cm long, then put a hoseclamp on it nice and tight but not squeezing the hose too much with the wormdrive part lining up with the hole you cut. Then just cut around the band
