That is not the kind of foam I have - you seem to be just using EVA foam at a smaller thickness. Craft foam or foamies is made from a different material and trust me, it is too soft.
Nope, I used exactly that. 12"x18" Silly Winks Foam Sheets. All of this craft foam or foamies or whatever is EVA foam(even Wandy Foam lists it as such) and is identical in density and probably comes from the same, cheap, Chinese sources. Dollar store foam sheets are the same material(except I can only get that in 1mm here). I've purchased 6mm "Foamies" from Joann and it is identical.
What you're saying doesn't even make sense about an xacto vs. scissors unless the xacto is just extremely dull or you're literally trying to cut it without holding the edge you're starting on.
