Hi All, I want to cut a hatch hole in the front bulkhead so I can have more storage area. Whats the best blade to use on a jigsaw, fine, medium or coarse? Thanks, O.T.

Re: Cutting Fiberglass

Use a fine blade. I used a metal cutting blade. First thing I did was tape the lines that I wanted to cut with masking tape, so it didn't chip. Worked great:

I agree with the fine blade. Don't forget your mask...:)
