    Default Cutting/sanding fiberglass

    Just a helpful hint: Along with all the protective gear, if you cover all exposed skin(neck, hands face, etc) with baby powder before you work it will keep you from getting all the 'glass in your pores. The baby powder fills your pores so the 'glass won't. Then just shower and your good as new.....
