I'm forwarding this for Dr. de Queiroz since he got dropped.  I
re-subscribed him so he should be able to get replies to the list.

Does this list still exist? I didn't receive anything from it in the 
last years. I don't even know if I
am on it...

I use sharp straight shears, marking first a line with a pen to follow, 
cleaning the ink with alcohol afterwards.
It's really difficult to make a perfect cut. Maybe it's possible to use 
a very sharp blade and a ruler,
with the ruler firmly fixed with C clamps on a table (with something 
below to protect the table).
My last attempt to use Theraband for this purpose failed. The band now 
has a side with a partially
conductive material, with logos printed on it. Difficult to remove.
