CUT INNER TUBE
first you need to cut the inner tube in a way that will be as long as possible.
_make a small cut in the inner tube, near the air valve(photo 1) ;
_start cutting along the circumference(photo2)
_ when you arrive near your previous cut start to move your scissors on the right,you are deciding the thickness of your thread(photo3);
_keep cutting along the circumference until you finish the inner tube, maintaining the same thickness of the thread(photo4);
_ones you reach the air valve again cut it away(photo5).
I help myself doing this using my feet, otherwise is really slow(but I'm sure there's better way)
