Default Cutting Onduline...

Hello,
we're now on the roof stage of building or hen house and need to cut the onduline.

How do you cut it? What is the best tool for the job? The saw is getting clogged with the black stuff - tar? Scissors can't do the job - what are you supposed to use?

If you keep the Onduline cold, you get less tarry stuff on the saw. It will clean off with meths. When I had to cut Onduline, I bought a new (cheap) saw for the purpose.
If there is only a moderate amount of cutting to do, a Stanley knife is easier to clean. For large 'cutting lengths' you get rather tired using a knife....

I found the best tool is an electric jigsaw, worked a treat
