Curved Silicone Scissors 9cm
22,99 € Tax incl.
9 cm curved scissors for trimming flash, edges and silicone excess with precision. Ideal for hard-to-reach areas in the workshop.
The 9 cm curved scissors is the essential finishing tool in any moulding, laminating or special effects workshop. Its curved blade follows irregular contours and reaches areas a straight scissor cannot, making the trimming of flash, silicone excess and edges clean and controlled with every pass.

What it is used for
These scissors are designed specifically for finishing and cleaning parts in the workshop. Their compact size and blade curvature make them particularly effective when working with silicone moulds, cast parts or laminates that require clean, controlled trimming without damaging the finished piece.
- Trimming flash and silicone excess from freshly demoulded parts
- Cleaning edges on resin or polyurethane parts
- Cutting fringe and overhang on light fibreglass laminates
- Accessing curved or interior areas that are hard to reach
- Fine finishing of special effects and prosthetics parts
- Precision work on scale models, miniatures and prototypes
- Trimming edges on latex or flexible polyurethane foam parts
How to use it
- Demould the part completely and place it on a stable, well-lit surface.
- Identify the areas with flash, excess material or irregular edges that need trimming.
- Orient the curved blade towards the area to cut, using the curvature to follow the contour of the part without forcing the wrist angle.
- Make short, controlled cuts, progressing gradually along the edge. Avoid long single-stroke cuts in areas with relief.
- For interior or hard-to-reach areas, carefully insert the blade tip and work from the inside out.
- Wipe the blade with a cloth after each work session to keep the edge in good condition.
Usage tips
Work with the part in the right position
Whenever possible, position the part so that the flash is accessible and the blade works in tension, not compression. If the silicone is very soft or warm (freshly demoulded), wait a few minutes for it to stabilise: it will cut better and with less risk of deformation.
Use the curvature to your advantage
The blade curvature is not just aesthetic: it keeps your hand and fingers away from the cutting surface while you cut in concave areas or recesses. Rotate the scissors rather than forcing the wrist angle; this gives you more precision and less fatigue during long jobs.
Blade maintenance
A blunt scissor crushes the material instead of cutting it, leaving irregular edges. If you notice the blade pulling rather than cutting cleanly, it is time to sharpen or replace it. Store the scissors with the blades closed to protect the edge between uses.
Frequently asked questions
Can these scissors cut fibreglass or kevlar?
For standard fibreglass in light laminates they can be used occasionally, but that is not their primary purpose. If you regularly work with fibreglass, kevlar or aramid, the right choice is a special carbon / kevlar / aramid scissor or the 28 cm fibreglass scissor, designed with hardened steel for that type of material.
Can I use them to cut latex or polyurethane foam?
Yes. These scissors work very well with thin-sheet latex and flexible polyurethane foam. The curved blade allows trimming without folding the material and following complex silhouettes with ease.
What advantage does a curved blade have over a straight one?
The curvature keeps the hand and fingers away from the cutting surface, improving visibility and reducing the risk of accidentally marking the part. It is also much more comfortable for following curved contours and working in interior or recessed areas of a mould or part.
How often should the scissors be cleaned and maintained?
Clean them after each work session, especially if you have cut uncured silicone or resin. Material residue can stick to the blade and hinder future cuts. A dry cloth or one lightly dampened with a compatible solvent is sufficient. Always store them with the blades closed.
Are they suitable for continuous professional use?
Yes. They are designed for workshop use, with a robust construction built to withstand daily work with elastic materials such as silicones, latex and foams. For very demanding cuts on hard or reinforced materials, consult Feroca's range of specialised scissors.
Where can I buy these scissors and other workshop materials?
You can purchase them in Feroca's online store or at any of its physical locations: Feroca Madrid (Calle Españoleto, 11 - 28010 Madrid) and Feroca Fuenlabrada (Sierra Elvira, 22 - 28946 Fuenlabrada).
What scissor size is best for high-precision work?
For high-precision work in small areas, a compact format like these 9 cm scissors is the right choice. For work on large parts or with technical materials such as fibreglass, opt for longer scissors with a blade specific to that material.
