This is probably a silly question but what is the best way to cut fiberglass laminations..heavy scissors, razor..the strip is too long for my band saw.
Thanks in advance

Cut or trim? I use a beltsander for trimming width, and a small grinder for cutting.

I use a dremel tool with a cut off wheel. I've tried snips before, and it causes the fiberglass to splinter.
