If you're cutting much of it, get a diamond saw. Fibreglass plays merry hell
with saw blades - and guillotine (shear) blades, too.
A powered jigsaw and a piece of steel strip clamped to it for a guide is
useful. Even, with care, a handheld tenon saw. A dust mask is HIGHLY advisable,
as is working outdoors. Nice, if you can manage it, is dribbling water onto the
saw so that the dust comes out as a slurry. Keeps the saw cool, too!
The old trick of laying sandpaper on a flat surface and running the edge of the
sheet backwards and forwards over it is another approach to cleaning it up.
However, then you need to make sure you don't get a straight edge that is at
the wrong angle.
