I don't think that this would immediately cut completely through your paper, but it will digest it. How good the cut is will depend on the type of paper, some paper may wick the acid more, and hence you get a wider area either digested completely or weakened. Other solvents could probably be substituted for other materials. Gordon Haverland, U of Alberta SLOWPOKE Facility Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
