sohczc Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hey guys hope you are having a good holiday, But on another note I started my fiberglass enclosure. I did my skeleton and my fleece and then my first layer of fiberglass so I started to sand down the high spots after the resin dried and I'm sanding the fiberglass and I didn't have a shirt on and as I'm sanding I'm thinking to myself I thought the guys said this stuff Itched and I continued sanding. About an hour latter it felt like I had little razor blades in my skin :ranting2:. So lesson learned never do fiberglass without the proper clothing. Just a Holiday laugh for you guys at Steve Meade Designs and have a safe New Years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernesto Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I wore some cheap gloves and the fiberglass ripped right thru it :^ That shit burns and it's hard as fuck to take off! For my next enclosure ima make sure I got some stronger longer gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tech Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 yea, i need to get like a cheap long sleeve shirt and some gloves because it is so itchy and it kinda does feel like a sharp point, its not fun. But once i fall asleep that night it usually goes away, until the next time i sand... Quote Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scratchy Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 if you do get some glass particles in your skin(esspecially inbetween your fingers wheres its the worst :pinch:) stick some duct tape over the "infected" area and pull it off quickly, works wonders Quote then im rambo bitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
