Will they cut it to sections like they would with wood sheets?

i had to snap it into 3 to get it in my car (FabiaVRS)

i take a bread knife with me and cut it in the car park. Although the 50mm stuff is easier to snap in a straight line.

The only reason I asked is that I'm tempted to make a viv shell out of the foam then fibre glass over the top. Therefore I would need a little more prescision. Could always get some thin ply cut to shape and act as a template for cutting in the car park.

I found some on ebay the other week for £2.45 but P&P was about the same. I got 6 sheets 25mm thick and roughly 600x300 in size couldn't grumble. Then I got the idea of calling into my local TV sales shop who had loads all for free. Think I'll stick to calling in there from now on....
