We cut our own screen protectors and ocassionally we have to cut the fresnal
and lenticular sheets in a pinch. We use a scoring blade in a utility knife.
About 4 passes seems to do the trick, then we "snap it" using the edge of the
table we have set up for just this purpose.
Works great!
Also, remeber when cutting the fresnal, to cut it evenly on all four sides.
If you have just a little to cut (less than say an inch), it doesn't show much
in the picture quality.

Run a strip of 1" Masking tape on each side...Then you can use Sharp
scissors to cut down the center of the Masking tape..Easier then cutting
it under water. ;-)
