Replacing PVC corrugated sheets on carport.
I need to cut approx 4ins off each 9ft sheet(10 off) to get it to fit
between my fascia and the gutter which buts on to next door's carport. Any advice on cutting 1mm thick sheet without splintering it, I assume it will be safer to cut it in warm weather. Don |

If its transparent then it is very difficult to cut without it shattering and splintering. The best thing I found was a tenon saw held at a vey low angle and worked slowly. To be honest I ended up increasing the overlaps. Don't try a jigsaw ! Paul Mc Cann |
