How to properly cut this glazing bead 55-301 to a good 45 degree angle

A quick learner from TX says:

I'm replacing quite a few old glazing beads in some windows with this product (55-301) and I'm having a hard time cutting 45 degree angles for a good corner fit because of the offset nature of the profile. Any suggestions? Or is there a tool made for this purpose you can offer?

Thank you,
Chris

Cutting glazing bead on the job site is always tricky. Window companies have saws and jigs to get the cut exactly like the want. I suggest using a set of Wiss shears or heavy duty scissors. Just make sur eto take your time and over cut it at first. Then cut it a little at a time until you get the correct fit you need.
