Works

Well now that I have tried this first hand I can say for sure that this was as useful as I had anticipated. I cut off the top to my 4 runner body I got from bigbyrd without a slip. I used two wooden dinner trays to tape my body to so it would be easy to get to the string from underneath in the middle. "thumbsup"

Thread works well, but 1) it can take a looong time to do, 2) you need some seriously heavy duty thread to cut ABS plastic, and 3) it can be difficult to cut a straight line.
