Turn the blade backwards, and go very slowly. The result would be
adequate, just adequate. Personally, I would use manual snips, but the
right snips. Those yellow handled Wiss snips aren't the only ones out
there. There are left cutting, right cutting, and offset snips. A pair
of right and left offsets would make the job considerably easier.
