Fitting cylinder thermostat (new cylinder)

Any tips for removing the insulation? I thought about using a multi-tool circular saw blade (by hand!) to get four neat cuts before chiselling out the insulation. Or Stanley knife?



TIA



Stanley knife blade for the first bit and then a large flat blade screwdriver for the rest seems to work for me.

Those break-off section knives with the blade fully extended are good for deep cuts.

multi-tool

chiselling out

... but be very careful notb to score the cylinder - they will split over time !

AWEM

That's what was worrying me slightly; I was thinking about grinding off the point of a Stanley knife blade.

Thanks to all for the suggestions
