It has to be cotton since it will be melting the plastic. Then you have to keep it moving so you don't cut with the same section for too long. Once you get the hang of it you can feel when it starts to get bogged down and will break. I probably used 40 feet of thread or more on that cut, but its so cheap so i could use a whole roll. Straight cuts you can do with a razor saw but thread is the only way to get nice tight areas and curves. To start on that I also used a #77 wire gauge drill bit, then threaded a needle.
