Default Subject: Less Dusty Way of Using a Power Tool to Cut Fiberglass Floor?

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
