I have been asked to install some glass board for a customer. What do you use to cut this stuff. Do you just use a skill saw or table saw? I have never worked with it but was curious if you can score it and snap it like sheetrock. Thanks for any info.

sorry if this should have been in drywall section.

What kind of glass board are you talking about? Like ceiling light glass board? They sell a little knife to score and snap that stuff... but i'm not sure that's what your talking about.

I've seen a few ads for it and was wondering how it paints
Never put it up though

I think he means a new "never mold" drywall that seems to be the latest thing

I didnt know what it was when they asked for it either. It is a 4x8 sheet wallcovering, 1/8 inch thick that is white with a texture molded into it. I dont know what it is made of but seems like a fiberglass type stuff. I have only seen it in milk houses in barns. I have also seen it in walk in coolers and restraunts. It installs vertically with little strips to cover seems and corners.

Ohhh... we call that FRP...fiberglass reenforced panel.. and I cut it with a skil saw and jig saw. it kills a blade, so use a cheap one. stinks too.

If you use a brand new blade and score it on both sides real good, it will snap. It's kind of flimsy for using a saw. I only had to cut straight lines on it to trim some sections but when I did have to cut a small L or corner off, I did use my jig saw. For larger L's, I just scored one side of the L, slowly rolled the board until it split on the scores, then did the other side of the L. I used my drywall rasp to take off the rough edges, just to make the edge straighter, even though I was using the plastic trim to cover all edges.

I use it all of the time.

Jig saw will work fine, for long cuts I use and angle grinder with a dimond blade. You can put up with either FRP adhesive or the plastic anchor buttons that they make for it.

You dont want to paint it.
