[sdiy] Cutting PCB Material

I need to cut a piece of pre-etched PCB in half so I
can use the other half for something else later.  The
package says "polyester glass".  I think I read
(here) that this stuff is really abrasive and can wear
out tools for cutting??  My intention was to use a coping
saw, which is really the only tool I have for this other
than simply holding it against a table edge and breaking
it along a line of pre-drilled holes.  The material is
cream colored if that makes a difference.  Will this
ruin my saw blade?  The cut will be a little longer
than 4 inches.  (René, I'm finally putting the 4069 VCO 
on a permanent board!).
