finally bought some styrene to try some things., I thought it was more like polystyrene found out it's like plastic is there a special cutter, or do you use side cutters and file smooth., or do you very carefully use a very sharp knife.
Depends. To cut parts off the sprue, I only use a high quality sprue cutter, not a general purpose side cutter! To cut and shape stock styrene, I'll use anything from a scriber to a #11 blade, or even a hobby scissors.
I take it you are talking about sheet stock. Depends on the thickness. Thinner stuff up to 1/16 inch can be cut with good scissors. Thicker stuff can be scored with a knife, flexed to break, for straight lines. Thicker stuff yet can be cut with jig saw or hack saw.
