Cutting plastic bath panels

[brian c]

Apart from using a stanley knife and taking your time,is there any other methods or techniques for cutting down bath panels once floor has been plyed out and tiles fixed?

No...if you find one plz let me know...to be successful as a tiler the best attribute is patience........and sharp tools..Remove the majority with aviation snips..and hone with stanley or dolphin knife with hooked blade..........Gaz

masking tape the panel and cut with hacksaw blade or any fine toothed saw........dave..

I did mine with a good old stanley... bloody took ages, lol, and would't like to ever have to do it again.

On a bathroom floor I'd feel like saying to customer as soon as I had finished tiling... get a plumber mate, lol

cut a panel today with a brand new stanley blade and scored the panel lightly then bent off cut and it came off no probs.Got another one tomorrow except this one is contoured,going to try the same thing mark the height of ply and tile and consider adhesive then mark panel and take it off and score,hope i get the same result.
