Thank for posting this. I got fibreglass by folding back a used fire blanket which was 100% fiberglass on a Saturday night. I couldn't see the tiny pieces even using the magnifying lens from my cellphone. I googled the problem and your video was the first result and had the exact perfect solution.

good Tip...Hi i do attic insulation...best way is to take a cold shower...hot water opens up your pores and gets the fibres in your skin thats what you don't want!

Yea sometimes but fibre glass particles don't usually get airborne (as he mentioned.) And even if they do they probably won't travel too far so I don't think it's necessary

Just wear long sleeves or a disposable full body hymark suit for example. I work in insulation removal and install and the best thing is just rinse with water without rubbing until you get the chance to shower then have a shower to get it off.

@@jayylad38 have you been able to figure out how to get it out of textiles? We had fiberglass exposure from our mattress cover as well and are planning how we will clean the room and hopefully salvage some of the clothes and a rocking chair I love. Right now we are looking for the appropriate shop vac with HEPA filter to vaccum as much as possible.

When I was a little kid, I played in the attic of an abandoned house which was full of the pink fiberglass insulation. I played all up in that insulation. Afterwords, I was totally itchy and tried swimming around in my kiddie pool later that day to get the itching to go away, and it hardly helped. I guess it went away after a time, I can't remember. But I'm 34 now, and look back at that and wonder if I got tiny pieces of glass still embedded in my body today. lol. that sucks. I lived though... unless the cancer will get me later.

Thank you for the video. I just wanted to point out that that is duct tape, not masking tape as you said in the beginning of the video. Masking tape is made of paper and definitely not sticky enough for this. I noticed that you did say duct tape at the end though. Thanks again!

an old school way is to 1 use an old pair of Nylons that woman use to wear. 2 then grab a bar of soap in your hand.3 pull panty hose over hand. 4 shower while in one motion top to bottom wash your exposed skin on limbs. then rotate panty hose and use other side and proceed by pulling panty hose UpTo finger tips and tucking it in the back of hand and never do circular motions that just digs it in . hope it helps .
