53-681 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 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??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzzed Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 accetone or nail polish remover.. but wash it of with soap and watter straight after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirpent Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Sam 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 John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirpent Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Sirpent Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Sam 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizm0zed Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Yup, mig flash burns is up there with welding in shorts, squatting and unintentionally realizing after several hours you UV burned the a$$hole out of your inner thighs. THAT is a painful recovery.... All i can suggest with your eyes is to relax, if you have scratched them (it sounds like you have) all you can do is rest, avoid straining them, so no tv, computer, reading ect ect. Best bet is just to sleep. It'll take a couple of days to heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberto Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Nothing worse than a scratched eye !! We have all had one. I went out with a beauty therapist once and she said that the cucumber trick helps with a scratched eye too. Anyone else heard this? Vaseline + cucumber = pimped out eye !!

I used to use a desert spoon of yogurt, close each eye and just scoop it on, but you need the firm type like "Jalna" that way its not runny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
