Yes, from 12' long down to 4' long.
They tried unrolling and it's many dozens of yards long so that got shut down
quickly.

I have never seen a four foot utility knife :-)
An electric turkey carver is my goto for stuff like foam but the canvas is
stout and I don't see it working.
A rotary razor is ideal, but the best I can come up with is a disc grinder
which doesn't have the depth.
Thanks for all the ideas so far.
