Hello to all, this is my first post ever to any group, although I've
been a lurker for years to this and other mechanically oriented groups, I am a shipwright and certified welder by trade now semi retired and finally doing my own thing, anyway an easy way to control the dust on fiberglass deck removal is to use a air saws all, or a die grinder with a water spray attachment this turns all the dust into a mud that is easily washed away or vacuumed up with a wet dry vac, makes a muddy mess but it is better than breathing it and it keeps it off your skin, I made mine with a pump sprayer and some duct tape, I just taped the spray nozzle next to the blade and let it produce a fine mist at the cutting point. I think it would be safe to use this on a electric tool to if you're careful, also the carbide dust blades work fine but bimetal blades do an okay job to you just got to buy a bunch, coarse ones are best for general destruction PS. I've also used a pump sprayer on a sander/grinder on fiberglass it worked okay just slings wet fiberglass mud around ![]() |
