Use a box cutter and a straight edge. Make several passes to score the plastic till you can easily bend a break off the waste piece. Sand the edge smooth.
Take it to a local carpenter or cabinetmaker and ask them to saw it off. If you have a jigsaw you could do it yourself.
I used a power saw. Then sand the edge. It leaves the best finish. Cut through from the front to back. For the best edge.
Thank you all for sharing. This is the best site ever.
End of holidays have me busy, will post later how it turned out.
p.s. Always check behind the granite countertop people for measurements. Told me I had plenty of room for switch plates and here we are, trying to fix a problem.
Thanks again for commenting.
