Option 6
I use a hose cutter http://tinyurl.com/yla2xe I got one like this from MachineMart years ago, but they don't stock them now. It gives a perfect squared-off end cut every time and absolutely no chance of cutting your fingers with this gadget - unless you put one in the jaws, of course.
Here's its heavy metal big brother http://tinyurl.com/yyfcd6 which costs slightly less, somehow.

Option 7
I use a pair of electricians wire cutters, sharp ones of course, leaves a nice and very straight edge.

I notice sharp scissors and scraper blade are neck 'n neck!
If I remember to change my rubber before going out I'll use our multi purpose very sharp scissors (you know, the pair in the kitchen that your wife has told you not to do diy with ;D).
If I realise at work that my rubber is naff then it gets cut with the scraper, which is probably what I do mostly.
-
Scissors if I'm at home or my scraper blade if at work,
I could only vote on one, so I chose scissors, because most of the time I'm at home when I cut them.
-
:)always use my scraper and over hang channel by a couple of mil :)
-
I by precut 12" rubbers but also 36" for other size squeegie channels and cut these down with my scraper with a new blade in.

front teeth cuz I'm well ard - sorry front tooth - I lost the other playing a friendly game of face breaking with a group of nice gentlemen. 14 on 1? Seen it on the cctv cameras the next day after the hospital had sent me home with a broken cheek bone and fractured jaw that no one had noticed.

I've always used really sharp scissors and pulled the rubber tight (not over stretching) when I cut it.
I found out recently though, that it's best not to use a pair of scissors.

The reason is you don't get a square edge from scissors apparently.
Never heard of a rubber cutter, might get one of them. Thanks

Dab of neat fairy liquid for a bit of slide and a new razer blade in a scraper holder, also rub a bit on the rubber, slid back and forth.

If you were Welsh you could call yourself Evans central 'eatin!
BTW - JM123 - lady round here had a gun pulled on her when she offered a pair of magazines at a door in a block of flats. (She called the police and it turned out to be imitation - but she didn't know that!)
-
Not nice, a friend not so long ago answered the door at home (bungalow miles from the back of beyond), 3 gentlemen with handguns (real) tied him and the family up, robbed the place and left. The same (we presume) gang done about 10 more homes in the County Antrim area within a few weeks of this. Never caught.
Why she have a gun pulled on her??

It has to be my scraper blade i always have this with me at work!!
