The manufacturers recommend a trimming knife or a fine tooth saw,
does anyone have any experience of cutting this stuff.


25mm bonded to 9mm plasterboard snaps very easyly. Not tried it on
50mm unbonded but I suspect a good deepish cut from a craft knife then
putting the cut above a batten and pushing down would have the desired
effect. A bit like cutting glass.

I'd rather not use a saw because of the toxic dust.


Is it toxic or just an irritant? Can't be worse than the dust that
comes off fibre glass. As has alreday been said a vacum running will
stop dust levels getting too high, very good at keeping dust levels to
light mist instead of thick fog when sanding filler/plaster down...
