Hey all,

I need to cut a paddle in half (fiberglass shaft). I am getting it 
converted to a two piece. Anyone have any tips on the type of 
saw/blade to use? Thanks!

For a smooth cut in glass, carbon or aluminum use a hacksaw blade.  To further
minimize splintering, on glass and carbon, place tape around the place to be
cut.
