Hello guyz,

have any of you talented zedstaers ever had experience with removing fibreglass from skin???
If so, what is the best approach?



I've got an optometrist appointment in 10mins and I just want to make sure that I don't rub my fibreglass infested hands to my face/eyes again.... Should I walk around with goggles perhaps???

[zzzzed]

accetone  or nail polish remover.. but wash it of with soap and watter straight after

are you talking about the glass fibers or the resin? +1 for the previous advice if you have resin. But if you have glass fibers stuck in your skin there is no easy answer.

maybe wear gloves next time

I'd rather be irritated by glass fibers than a bolt of lightning...

Old panel beaters trick for you.

Get some latex gloves and fill them with Vaseline, then tonight put them on when you go to bed and tape the tops around your wrists.

By the morning it should have released any fibreglass resin and material off.

Cheers

Seriously Sam

The Vas does work, Spamaster (Bruce) used to make fibreglass Spa baths, even he will tell you it does.

The vas will soften the pours in your hands and allow the fibres to work themselves out while you sleep.

Isnt that right Bruce?

Is it also safe for my eyes bro?

I just came out of Eye and Ear hospital in Gisborn St today and they also couldn't find anything in my eyes...
I'm still paranoid though - I will use the vaso trick!

You may have had fibres there which would have scratched the lenses, same thing happens with steel shards, even after they are gone there is pain due to these abbrasions, but you dont know what pain is till you have MIG flash burns and your eyes feel and ache like someone chucked buckets of sand in your eyes.

Its like sunburn and the pain and grit feeling is the eyes actually losing a layer of membrane as a result.
