I should give it a try, although some scary pictures appeared when I googled the material. You are the second person that recommends a bread knife. The other day I was in a hardware store looking for the right tool for my hill project and ended up with a small carving knife. Of course they didn’t have bread knives.

Instead I bought a sheet of loft insulting foam and set about it with a bread knife - very quick, very simple.

For the bottom of a hill, I would place a level next to the hill and lightly pencil where you need to cut to make it lay flat and then slice away (like you would a cake to make the top flat).
