You could use a steel blade for the jigsaw or if the FRP is very thick a grinder with a cutting disc will work well too.
Make sure that you use good extraction and a dustmask, powdered glass is not good to breathe.

Thanks for the info - I'm afraid that my grinder & cutting disc would be too aggressive - but it's something to consider

+1 on the mask, don't want that stuff in my lungs
