Have you tried that with the fiberglass boards? I tried this last time I cut a board, but I only scored one side; it's almost impossible to get scores on oppisite sides to line up. When I snapped it, the top half snapped on my line and the bottom have broke about 1/2" away very jaggedly. I used my rotary tool to sand away the jagged part of the board, but that is not a good way to cut it, and I wouldn't try it again. In the past, I've used a tablesaw which works perfectly, but I had to give it up in a move recently. I'll try buying a pair of tin snips next.
