Crafts - has anyone used transparent lino board?

[2gbmum]

I'm trying to cut a simple print design out of one, using lino tools and it's virtually impossible. Does anyone have any tips about using these boards?

Have never used it but assume it's completely see through including the back? If it is then tape the design to the back so you can then flip it I've and see where to cut.

Grrrr spellcheck.....
Flip it over

Yes, it's totally transparent and that's why I got it so that I could see the design, I wanted to cut, through the lino but the plasticy texture of the block is impossible to cut using lino tools.

I know the traditional lino block is not that easy but this stuff is nigh impossible. Thought there might be an insiders trick like heating it up or something.

on ebay they have "soft transparent lino board, now softer and easier to cut".....maybe the first generation product is pants?
