I use an iSlice (harbor Freight?) or a soldering iron....

I use a "pencil" soldering iron - nice clean lines & don't have to worry about slicing to deep.

Yup! That is the best way to cut away monokote when you need to expose the wood.

I was looking at soldering irons at Lowe's the other day and they had one that would use a #11 blade as a tip.  It had other specialized tips as well.
