Ohhh the technicalities! Either way, hope my experience aids someone moving forward as it would have helped me in reading prior to starting the job.

Not odd at all. I trawled through the internet for advise and found nothing that specific. Lots of methods were offered and I tried most in cutting mine. I found what I thought to be the best and to save someone in the same position I was over a week ago the hassle of trawling through I made...

Thought I'd put my bit in as hopefully it can help. I'm not a pro or advanced DIYer so hopefully this will help those who think they have possibly a thicker/ more durable panel. The panel was from Bathstore and I needed to cut both at the top and ends. It seemed to be made from fibre glass/...
