If you are cutting the fiberglass matting, it will cut with regular scissors. If you are trying to cut fiberglass sheets that have already been cured with resin, you need to use either a fine metal saw (to keep splintering to a minimum) or an impregnated disc like they use on grinders.

Do you mean the matt?... with scissors!, or the finished laid up product, in which case you need a saw of some kind.
I've done a lot of fiberglass work... send me an e-mail and I'll try to help you if I can.
