Step 3Heat 'im up!
The vinyl that the Munny is made of is pretty firm when it's at room temperature, but heat it up with a hair dryer or a heat gun and it softens up oh so nicely. After that the Xacto cuts through it like butter.
Cutting is all about careful subtraction. I cut within my safe area quickly, but when I was getting close to my line I started whittling down the space with constant checks with the drivers and eyeballing it from the side to see where I needed to remove more vinyl next.

You can also heat it up in hot water, if you don't have access to a heat gun or hairdryer. I've used water for reshaping miss-formed Vinyl parts many times.

could you use a hot knife or soldering iron to start a hole and use a dremel to finish it off?

I have to admit it didn't occur to me to heat up the vinyl before hand, well atleast it will be easier next time
