sorry another thing 14mm is the average thickness of a board a 14mm ply sheet has been made to be solid in a FLAT form not bent and warped. Yes its made of thinner sheets its self but in all likelyhood it wil snap during pressing or the first ride you take on it. get yer self some 4mm or 3mm hoop pine from bunnings from memory its $32 for a 1.6m x 2.4m sheet i got 2 boards out of one sheet.

there's a couple of ways - I actually find it's easier to trim close to the board shortly after the resin/epoxy has just hardened but not gone rock hard - say within 30 to 60 minutes of applying. Use a sharp stanley knife - almost like when you grip a board, but don't try and cut right up against the wood/ply. then once it's gone off completely, use a sander to take it back nice and neat... The jigsaw will just rip the shit out of it as you have found.

When i fibre glass a board, should i cut around the edges when its still wet, or wait and cut with a jig saw? I tried with a jigsaw and the up and down motion of the saw ripped away the fibreglass :(
