Thanks. I didn't realize that a utility knife would go all the way through.
Yup. Luan is pretty lightweight soft material. Kinda like working with balsa wood. Just don't expect it to cut through in one or two passes. Take your time, use real steady hands and hold the blade in firm contact with the plywood at all times. If the blade ever gets away on you it can make a bad scratch... Sometimes you can push on the plywood a bit to make the cut open up as you go to let the blade get in easier.
When I get to the corners, I've pushed the blade in and wiggled it back and forth to make a clean sharp "plunge" cut into the corners and so it won't cause damage beyond the cut line. Try making a light cut along each line first so for the next pass the blade will tend to stay in the cut when you press harder on the next pass.
