Woodlander, I am probably speaking out of turn here , and for that I apologize to WN but I have heard the folks talk about getting sticky back sandpaper and attaching it to a mouse pad. They say you don't apply any pressure (unless it is a really light blade) then just enough pressure to get it to cut.

Someone with experience with this method should explain better when they read your question. I have never done this method myself.
