Premium Member Comment by Deeks63 on January 4, 2012 at 20:04: 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.
