Our RV has a built-in bulletin board but the cork is less that 1/4" thick, not thick enough to hold pins securely. I bought some 1/2" thick self-adhesive cork tiles to replace it. It appears that the cork was applied to a larger backing and then fastened to the back of the cabinet frame. I have doubts the adhesive will stick to the excising cork so my plan is to trim along the frame with a razor blade and remove the old cork.
Now to my problem. The tiles are 12" square and the frame is about 4 3/4" wide. What would be the best way to cut the tiles to width? My guess is that a table saw would leave a rough edge. Would a band saw with a fine tooth blade give the desired results or should I try to cut it with a straight edge and a razor blade. I have 4 tiles and it will only take 2 so I have room to experiment. I just hate to waste material that might come in handy down the road.
