I managed to get the "knack" of cutting it today, using some offcuts. I was doing two things wrong... first, I was drawing the cutter across the glass too slowly and it kept catching. The second problem was the pressure I was applying. The instructions said light pressure, but my definition of "light" is obviously way too light.
To break after scoring, I use a ruler placed under the sheet parallel to the cut. Pressure on either edge (using protection if one side is very short) usually (!) produces a clean cut. Tile nibblers will work for any small excrescences but you need to take tiny bites.
I borrowed a framing book from the public library today. In the
"glass" section it recommends a 50% solution of denatured alcohol in
water.
That will need to be distilled or deionised water.
