Things You Will Need
-
Tie metal rings onto both ends of the cotton string.
-
Wrap the cotton string halfway around your PVC pipe, and teeter-totter the ends back and forth in a sawing motion. The friction of the cotton string against the PVC pipe will cut right through it.
-
You can also loop a piece of butcher's twine, or kite string, all the way around the PVC pipe. It's best to tie rings or sticks on the ends as handles.
-
Pull the string back and forth like a seesaw. This motion will melt right through the PVC pipe.
