Q. Would this be suitable for cutting polypropylene woven weed control fabric?
A. Hi, thanks for your question.
We have not tried doing this, but cannot see any reason why not in principle. But this fabric would be denser than the expanded polystyrene mentioned, so may not get hot enough to work well.
