For cutting anything, including fibreglass, I trim with a thin (1mm) cut off disk as seen at http://www.scis.com.au/Products/KC100-1INOX.aspx
These are fantastic, especially on steel and fibreglass.

I let some overhang completely cure and now I am using sheet metal sheers to cut the excess. I am still loving it." Hello Kurt, Your fun is just beginning and so are your skills. I will let you in on one trick that I learned when trimming the excess of a cured skin. Dremel tool with a 1 1/4" cut-off wheel, or the drum sander if you don't have to remove too much material, is a lot faster and you are not as likely to pull the edge of your lay-up off the foam. If you are all air tool equipped you can use a die grinder with a 3" abrasive wheel to accomplish the same thing but a Dremel is a little easier to handle. If you don't already have one you will need to get one. I think I am on my fifth or sixth one and I doubt a KR has yet to be completed without one. Don't even think about the cordless ones, it will die on you when you don't need it to. Have fun! Stephen Teate Paradise, Texas
