Hi,
so I'm currently trying to build an Iron Man Mark III chest piece and so far I've tried avoiding as many health hazards as possible. I use Jesmonite instead of normal resin since it doesn't develop any of the harmful fumes etc. and today I got to the part where I wanted to try and get my fibreglass tissue on the inside of the coated chest piece. Since I only work with the Jesmonite, I just have a normal dust mask and some goggles and gloves. When I cut my fibreglass tissue at first, I was wearing the mask and gloves, not sure about the goggles, but maybe. However, when I then worked with it, I removed them since I found them disturbing and thought it was no longer necessary. I didn't see any warning signs or instructions for precautions on the fibreglass tissue package, so assumed that it would be fine (I'm using this one: click). A bit later I found a need to cut some of the fibreglass tissue pieces a bit smaller and then just did so while I was only wearing the gloves, no mask or goggles. Now I just looked it up a bit and am reading that fibreglass dust is a real hazard and I'm panicking a bit now. How bad is this? My hands have been itching a bit since I did this but now I'm also feeling that a bit on my face and chest, even though I was wearing a jacket that was zipped high up and I was outdoors. Does somebody know how bad this is and if there's something I should or could do now?
