[QUOTE="Atjan, post: 177978, member: 2323"] Further to the risks of fibreglass. I've actually read up on this a bit, having worked in a fibreglass moulding shop, I obviously had concerns. Based on the legal requirements, both here and in America, you're not exactly going to fall over after medium exposure. Here I'm talking of working in a place for 8-10hrs a day where you can actually see a light haze of fibre glass floating. Note, in such an environment there's little to no extraction and people are handling and cutting large rolls of the stuff. All day long. There are reports of people that worked in such environments for many years getting sick by retirement age though. Since, most companies have improved their general working conditions though. But thats going OT. Even now there is no specific rules about this in industry. Which goes some way to explaining the relative danger of WORKING with fibreglass in the long term. In the short term, people who don't use it regularly, may have some minor skin irritation for a few hours at most. I did not even have that when I made my panels, possibly cause I worked in a well ventilated area and did not touch the stuff unnecessarily. Its certainly less dangerous than many of the cleaning products and paints we regularly use. [/QUOTE]
