Don't bother - hot wire doesn't remove waste and you'd need the wire insanely hot to make any progress, with the added side-effect of monomer fumes. I tried it once and what a messy job it did. The cut will seal behind the wire even worse than a bad blade and the molten plastic makes a ridge. Hot wire is only suitable for a limited range of materials, like polystyrene foam -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
