Default The cure for the dreaded fiberglass itch.

Today I finally got around to drilling a hole in the truck for a battery terminal through the body. [now that I have a hardtop its a pain to get to into the trunk to charge the battery, so I installed a terminal]

Anyway, I managed to get fiberglass dust all over my arm, and the sweat just made it that much worse.

After I was done with the terminal installation, I took off my clothes, and jumped into the shower, and lightly washed with soapy water with no wash cloth.

After drying off, I started to itch like crazy, way worst than ever before.

Of course my computer was so slow I couldn't find any good tips for removing the fiberglass from my arms.

So, I remembered that when I cut my hair I usually use gold bond powder to get all of the tiny cut hair off my neck/shoulder area as it would itch if not taken care of.

I used the GB powder, and it worked for most of the fiberglass. For the rest of the fiberglass I used a lint roller, and now I'm itch free.

Just thought I would share this as I know in our hobby most of us will be cutting/trimming fiberglass at some point.

Happy 4th.
