Uh... Cut it? Do you mean cut the material to apply to the box, mat and cloth?

So you made a mold of a quarter panel and are asking how to clean up the rough uneven edges? It really depends I guess. Just cut it how you want it to look.

Use a Dremel with a Cutoff wheel to clean up your edges. Then to get them perfectly smooth you can just use a sanding block.

are you talking about the lines around the foundation mold?

If so then keep them straight as you can, but corners keep curvey, its up to you really, just make sure there are no sharp corners as they are hard to wrap and look crap! cutting fiberglass -- posted image.
