    At the moment I am using bars of soap to test cuts but they are all quiet small.

    Paraffin wax ... available from woodworking suppliers ... Liberon make it in 1kg lumps ... low melting point but reasonable price and easy to work with.

    Maybe a whole bundle would be cheap from a £ shop

    Kai another option if you want something more substantial to cut is plastic pallets if you can find them. Why not jut use MDF or wood? i always cut test pieces from wood before destroying a good piece of material.Even hardboard works as a cheap option if the cuts aren't too deep?
