Hey guys,
I was wondering what type protection you need to wear when sanding fiberglass ? stop you from itching etc ?
Ok, here’s your answer:
Baby powder!
Just load up on baby powder and it fills your pores and prevents getting the itches. Also, never take a hot bath after working with FG as it opens the pores more. Cold water only!
Also any gloves (those FG slivers suck!) and eye protection too.
respirator preferably. dust mask minimum.
So you dont usualy wear suits or anything to protect yourself ?
Doesnt it get into other areas easily, seems like if you work with it,it will get into every nook and cranny ?
if you do it everyday, you get used to it, I rarely itch anymore and I wear short sleeve shirts all day. You can get painters suits but the thing is it seeps in them too,You take them off once or twice and the fiberglass gets in. Then you get it in your belt line and neck line and that I can’t stand.
