hi john, I used a metal straight edge and stanley knife with new blade,
this is the type of knife with the retractable blade which I used half
extended,
The first cut is the most important, do it gently just to score the glass,
the subsequent cuts will follow the original line, keep the angle of the
blade to follow the tabs leading edge, It takes very little physical effort
to complete this job, just remember to keep the straight edge in place until
your score line is firmly established.
good building
