I use HardiBoard which is available at building supply stores. It even
looks much like the original asbestos. It is very hard to cut (ruined a lot
of saber saw blades). Finally got smart and asked the store what to use and
they sold me a special blade for my skill saw. Cuts like a knife in hot
butter. Once you make all the straight cuts, you can finish w/ the saber
saw.
