pcDNA 3.1/Myc-His(+) B cutting problems

I have some problem by using pcDNA 3.1/Myc-His(+) B.

I am trying to cut Hind3 and Kpn1cutting sites in order to insert my
favorite gene.

Since I have tried several times and still can not get my favorite
gene inserted, I was wondering

is it possible to cut pcDNA 3.1/Myc-His(+)B by Hind3 and Kpn1 at the
same time?

Would the two restriction enzymes compete with each other since their
cutting sits are near by?

Their sites are right next to each other, which might indeed be
a problem. It's not competition but the fact that many restriction
enzymes need extra dsDNA on both ends of their recognition sequence.

KpnI is is supposed to cut well (50-100% activity) with just
one base beyond recognition site. HindIII, however, is more
demanding: no cut at all with one base beyond its recognition,
0-20% with two bases, 50-100% for three (according to Fermentas
table).

So, apart from using different enzyme pair or doing restriction
enzyme-independent cloning, your choices are:
1) Do HindIII digestion in NEB buffer 2, then, after verifying that
it is complete, throw in as much KpnI as reaction conditions afford
and hope for the best.
2) Clone something/anything into HindIII site (obviously, orientation
does not matter in this case; any fragment or 20 bp annealed oligos),
then the double cut will be efficient. (And, in the case of large fragment
inserted, double cut will be eay to monitor/verify).
