Gary:
Don't know if this will work for you, but I used to
(when I did a lot of methacrylate work in the late
70's) pick up the sections from the knife by rolling
them around a fine glass rod or even a wooden dowel
(actually a round toothpick).  It takes practice and a
lot of patience, but this was the most reliable method
I have found.
