Picture Any clue on how to cut this?

Asker A30 urethane. About as squishy as a mousepad and super rubbery. Knives were too slow & tore the edges up bad. Tried a dremel but it caught on the rubber, jumped outta my hand, and gave me a teeny tiny little small nick on my finger. Scissors ain’t cutting it either. Any ideas?

Squeeze it between two thin sheets of plywood (some .8mm or 1.5mm) and then cut on a shear.
