Default cutting flexible pushrod

Having some difficulty getting a "clean" cut on Great Planes Flexible Cable Pushrod I thought I would consult the collective mind of RCU.

What I did in the past was apply some flux to the area I wanted to cut, heat with an iron and solder it as good as I could. This produced one "good" cut and another cut that looked awful. I've got to do this again to make a front steering cable of correct length as the former was too short.

Can anyone share with me their favorite method for doing this? All comments welcome.
