Problem: Article: Plastic-cutting blades have a higher tooth count than a standard wood-cutting blade. This allows for a smoother cut without having jagged edges. It also helps prevent kickback if you're using an electric saw. Ensure you're using a blade meant for cutting plastic. Use a thicker blade so the plastic does not melt and stick back together. If you are trying to cut out smaller windows in larger sheets or making small handheld crafts, use a craft blade to chip away small bits of plastic. Drill holes to use as starting points for the blade and shave away the plastic until you reach the guide lines. Clamp a piece of straight wood across the plastic with the line you intend to cut hanging slightly over the edge to cut a straight line. Guide the saw through the plastic sheet, keeping your hand on the wide portion of the saw shoe. Jigsaws allow for better mobility as you make curved cuts into the plastic. Using a blade with 10 teeth per inch, turn the plastic to make the shapes you need. Drill holes in the plastic along the guide lines so your blade has places to start and stop easily. Make straight relief cuts from the outside of the plastic to the curves. This will help prevent the plastic from warping and shortens the cutting distance. Leave room between the guide lines you've drawn and where you cut. You can always file these down later. This type of saw makes cuts only when you pull it, unlike other hand saws that cut when you push and pull it. A pull saw helps make a cleaner, smoother line in your plastic and may be easier for making shorter straight cuts than an electric saw. Use your thumb to guide the blade when you make the initial cut. From there, place the saw into the line you've made and pull the saw through.
Summary: Use blades meant for cutting plastic. Use a craft knife to make smaller cuts. Cut long, straight lines using a handheld circular saw and straight-edge. Create curved cuts by using a jigsaw. Make short, straight cuts using a Japanese-style pull saw.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fiber is important for regulating your bowels and dealing with IBS symptoms. If you are having trouble getting enough fiber from your diet alone, then taking a fiber supplement may help to improve your IBS symptoms. Choose bulk forming laxatives because they are the least likely to irritate your bowels. The recommended daily amount of fiber is between 25 to 35 grams. If you are not getting this amount of fiber from food sources, then you can supplement with fiber. Fiber supplements are available as powders, capsules, and biscuits. Make sure that you read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for use. Always take fiber supplements with a full glass (8 ounces) of water. Probiotics may also be helpful for treating your IBS symptoms. Probiotic supplements contain good bacteria that can help to regulate your digestion. Try taking a probiotic for about a month to see if it helps you. A typical dose is between one to two billion colony forming units (also known as CFUs) per day. Make sure that you follow the manufacturer's dosing instructions. Some doctors will recommend a higher dosage for their patients. Check with your doctor for a specific dose recommendation. When choosing a probiotic, make sure that the package provides the name and contact information of the manufacturer, the scientific names of the bacteria strains included in the probiotic, a "best by" date that states how many of the bacteria will be alive when the product expires, information about how to store the product, and dosage instructions. Avoid any products that make claims that the product will cure or treat a disease or condition. Peppermint oil capsules have been found to be effective for children with IBS. Peppermint capsules seem to reduce the abdominal pain that is common with IBS sufferers. Try taking peppermint oil capsules for a couple of weeks to see if it helps to soothe pain associated with your IBS. A suggested dosage is to take one to two coated 0.2 mL peppermint oil capsules. You can take up to three doses per day. Keep in mind that some people experience heartburn from taking peppermint capsules.

SUMMARY: Take fiber supplements. Incorporate a probiotic supplement. Try coated peppermint oil capsules.
