As a boatbuilder who does allot of fibreglass repairs, i find that a good
pair of overalls with masking tape or equivalent round sleeves and neck, a
good pair of riggers gloves or other thick and hard wearing work gloves and
a good face mask and hat works extremely well, but i still have a cold
shower at the end of the job just to get the rest of the glass dust off me.

funny noone told you about that before you got started. Before I
fiberglassed my hull, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE I talked to warned
me about how bad it was going to be from all the fibers itching and
such and about all the precausions I should take like duct tape around
gloves and pants legs and throw away all the clothes afterwards. I
didn't go that extreme and I found that the fibers wern't as big a
problem as they said.

After a day of working and grinding the deck of a project boat the one
thing
I didn't think of was,,,,,,,,fiberglass getting all over me.
Well ,,,we learn from our mistakes right!
Some people say to take a pair of panty hose and rub it off,,,,,,doesn't
work,,LOL
I did learn that if you cover yourself with hair conditioner when you
show
and then wash with soap most will be removed.
After the shower take a roll medical gauze and clean yourself it will
remove
the rest of the glass.
Just thought this would be of use to some of the folks that helped me
with
my project boat.
