    Hi all

    Are there any tools which we can buy from hardware store which can cut through the mesh? I tried with a small wire cutter but can't cut through.

    I bought some from Seaview to try to tie moss but kind of overestimated the size.

    It depends how much wire mesh you cut with the scissor. Normally, it might go blunt after that.
