I received a Chooch Enterprises resin bridge abutment and pier today, and the pier is about 1/2" taller than the abutment. Fortunately I had the foresight to put a layer of 3/4" Styrofoam on the plywood that supports the bridge (it's a Walthers single-track truss bridge leading into a Walther trestle bridge to span the area in front of a window), so I was able to "lower the ground" so to speak to get both ends of the bridge level. <br /> <br />But that got me to thinking -- how do you cut or shape a resin casting? At some point in the future I'll probably have a resin retaining wall, and most likely the commercial ones won't be the right height and/or length. What's the trick to cutting it to size? <br /> <br />
