Cutting flexible fiberglass.

[napalmseth[501st]]

Question for those that have built Jimm’s R1 kit. How are you cutting the fiberglass? Just a dremel? Is it easy to sand smooth afterwards? I have to trim my thigh pieces quite a bit(I’m on 5’6”). And I don’t want to just go in and cut it up.

I don't know if it's the most efficient/best method, but I've just been using some Wiss snips and a dremel to trim/sand edges. It can take some time with thicker parts, but works.

This actually sounds like a good idea. Similar to using the lexan scissors on the abs. Do you use the coated scissor wiss or the utility shears?

This is similar to what I already had.
