===Trimming the part=== I use a diamond saw on a die grinder to trim parts, but you can use a grinder with a 24 grit disc or sawzall just as easily. Fiberglass is very messy, and the dust is quite a nuisance, as shown by the dust that has accumulated on our test dummy. Though fiberglass dust and fiberglass strands are generally not considered to be carcinogenic (except in cases of uncommonly high exposure), they are widely recognized as skin, eye, and respiratory irritants. Use of a minimum N95 dust mask, and proper eye and body protection is a must. Don't do this in your house, or anywhere without adequate ventilation. The dust will migrate everywhere if you don't exhaust it, or collect it. For more information on the health factors associated with fiberglass, see this article's [[#Related_resources|Related resources]]. {| |-valign="top" |[[Image:44trimming the excess.JPG|center|thumb|Trimming off the excess with a diamond saw on a die grinder.]] |[[Image:45trimmed part.JPG|center|thumb|All trimmed, ground, and ready for some body filler.]] |[[Image:46trimmed part with a fat boy.JPG|center|thumb|Use a dust mask, and proper eye and body protection when working with fiberglass dust.]] |}
