Making an opening in the fibre glass seat units

[two stroke mick]

Is there a technique for cutting fibreglass as I want to flush mount a VHF unit. Any advice would be welcome

Is this an undercover "drilling a hole" thread?

Sounds like a 'drilling a square/rectangular hole' thread

There's nothing much new on ribnet these days. Try here.

Yeh, but surely you don't ever want a square/rectangular hole cos of the stress risers. Yer always gonna want the corners roundish.

Did you get rid of those bulk SS fasteners?

Of course, silly me, don't want the RIB splitting in half like a liberty ship on the first big wave

Well?

If that proves to be a bit hopeful I'll be in touch.
