For fiberglass itch...I get it, too.FlounderPounder wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 9:14 am I found some online…should arrive by the weekend. I think it’s called PR88 or something like that. And it’s basically just what you said, a water soluble “barrier cream”. They state that it protects against a bunch of stuff, including epoxy resin and fiberglass. So hopefully that helps?!?
1. Throw away all clothing after any major grinding event. We all have old stuff we can pitch.
2. Only wear long sleeves. Yes. I only wear long sleeves.
3, Wash all boat clothes separately.
4. Finally, the thing you need. Use masking tape or lint rollers to clean your hands after washing with cold water and drying. This really works! Especially, glass bits get into finger webs. And the tape picks it off well dried hands. You can actually see the glass fibers in good light.
5. Never use acetone on hands. The soluble epoxy will get into skin. Vinegar only on the body as much as humanly possible.
6. Use more tape on hands. I had a few desperate nights going crazy with itch and the tape really works. It is just amazing how the ground glass does not wash off, but embeds in the pores.
