I was wondering if anybody knew how to safely cut a lighter in half for this effect.
Thanks

Hey, David passed this post along to me. Hopefully I can help. I by no means call this "safe", it's just the method I use. First, I make sure all of the gas is drained from the full sized Bic lighter. You can do this by holding down the button in a well ventilated area until it won't light anymore. I use a rotary tool for the cutting, and I make sure to cut towards the lower half of the lighter as to make sure I don't cut through the spring mechanism. I should really write this up and take some measurements. I'll let you know if I get around to doing so. For now, if you need further help, feel free to pm me.
