A cutting bit would brobably get clogged with the resign. I'd use a reciprocating (sp?) saw like an air saw sawzaw, etc. To straighten the cuts use a sanding block and smooth out the edges with a fine grit paper.

i would put tape over it before you cut it so it dosn't fray the same way you cut A&N lines. Just do it as a saftey precaustion
